One day, I might actually have enough time to write a proper post. We got back from Shropshire at 12.30am on Monday morning and I am still playing catch up at work from our holiday. We spent the weekend at M's parents' golf course helping out with M's father's captains weekend. There was a black tie dinner dance on the Saturday evening and then on Sunday M's parents were hosting a marquee on the 11th green, serving refreshments including a barbeque to all the players as they came round. All 200 of them. Here I am helping out.
I also wanted to share this little insight on twitter. I am not sure about it being grand enough to be Jane Austen but it certainly felt a little like Miss Joan Hunter Dunn. But I love how English the weekend must have sounded. And it was. Tea, sandwiches, burgers in rolls, sunshine, golf and vintage dresses.
AmidPrivilege RT @peacockfeather: On our way to shropshire for M's dad's captains weekend. Black tie dinner dance tonight. [sounds like jane austen:)]

Oh how decadent. I hope there was plenty of Pimms. You look fabulous in your summer dress and your straw hat.
There certainly was plenty of Pimms.
You definitely enjoyed a typically English summer weekend! I love the vintage dress and trilby hat combo.

Sounds just lovely. I adore proper English summer weekends, they're glorious. Hope all's well and you catch up with work soon.
That really does sound very English. And like it was a fun time. (Sorry about the match, though.)
Dress + hat are adorable!
How very English! I love your hat.
