Me dreaming of when it’s coat weather in Savannah…
Happy birthday @robgilbertuk ❤️ you are quite frankly an angel (even if you refused to jump in the lake…), and this is a great chance to look at the beautiful Lyme again!!
Okay, last pictures of the Breakers… opulence, opulence, a lot of opulence!
It’s been so exciting and interesting to be part of @davenporthousemuseum’s annual October Yellow Fever programme, even if this was my first time acting since I was four years old and played the part of “Upsy-Daisy-Angel” in the nativity play and refused to say my lines because I was too scared (hahaha - child actors are very unreliable?!). I especially loved getting to dress up and wear a bonnet 👒 here’s me pontificating about spirits and the soul…
One of the most impressive spaces at the Breakers is the Great Hall - it was meant to be like a Renaissance courtyard, with the ceiling mimicking the sky.
Me, taking photos of every little detail of the Newport Mansions… which hilariously were known as “summer cottages”… lol if that’s a cottage my house is a tiny shed… 🕰
