Excitement, Peas and Costume

26 Jul

1  I’ve booked my tickets to Mortimer station! I’m going to be at The Wool Against Weapons demo at Aldermaston with our Peace scarf! I am so excited I haven’t the words to say!  I will actually be there to unroll our 22 Peace Pieces!

2   We have harvested our first peas today, beautifully sweet and moist – just lovely raw!

3   I have sorted my costume for Sunday 3rd August, on the lines of my Great Great Granny on my Mother’s side – a long dark grey skirt, a white shirt with a wide dark cummerbund and a green brooch at the neck that belonged to the lovely Mr S’s Great Aunt with a flash of purple ribbon as my mark of respect for the Suffragettes of the time. My curly hair won’t be subdued into this hairdo though!

    What fun dressing like your Great Great Granny! And how wonderful you get to present the Peace scarf. 🙂

      I am so excited about the scarf! I’ll take lots of photos, of course, and show you the event as best I can. I won’t be bale to see the whole 7 miles though. I’ll get some pictures of us all dressed up too for the show next Sunday. 🙂

    Those peas look lovely and crispy. Sure they tasted good.

      They were delicious – I ate lots of them raw straight 🙂 from the pod!

      Raw peas straight from the pod! Nothing quite like them! Indeed, I will be very proud to be part of the Peace demo:)
