The Ladies of an OVPR–October 2010

October found me in Surry VA for another 4 days of fun & shining times.  It rained a bit Wednesday on the way down & during camp set-up, but the rest of the event was dry.  Warm-ish during the day, cool-ish at night but the weather gods were surely smiling on us.  Sunday & time to return to modern life came all too soon !

Four more Colonial Ladies at the Saturday Ladies Tea.  Except the cups didn’t smell much like tea !

There were of course a few women of the Lower Classes present.   Even a few local Native Woman came to the affair.

I just don’t know what the Colonies are coming to – Ladies of the Better Sort openly consorting with Women of the Lower Classes.  What will happen next, rejecting the Rule of the King !

This Lass Clearly Had a Bit Too Much Hard Cider !

The next Vous is scheduled for the end of March, so keep your powder dry & come on for some shining times.
