Twirl


I should like to attend an outdoor Victorian skating party!
 With yards of luscious garb to keep me warm and lace trim on my skates 
and a fur lined muff that would look just so. 
 My cheeks would grow pink from twirling in the wind and I would fall down and laugh out loud. And partake of plentiful fripperies by an open fire and my wet bum would grow chilly. 
 That's what I should like.

that does sound like fun - I'd be scared I'd slip on the ice though

Your photo on this post is great.What a huge house in the background! Love old photos. Once had a fantastic collection but in a moment of weakness sold them. Skating -- did my share when I lived in MI. I would imagine a Victorian skating party would have hot cider afterwards. Thanks for awakening my many memories. -- barbara
