I thought the passengers would enjoy seeing London through her eyes, a new monarch, British culture, the architecture and meeting the Lions of the day. She writes in a witty, humorous and sometimes catty style. Wonder if her writing style is a result of Thomas Jefferson?
But, alas, I have no 1838 costume. Nor do I have anything remotely near an 1838 costume I could tweak. So back from Costume College last Monday, Tuesday down to the Dungeon and chain myself to the sewing machine. Here is the result of the past week.

Beautiful! And you are so focused! I've just been making messes since I got home.
I know there was a date that kerchiefs started to be called fichus and I think 1838 would be fichu.
I want to be you!! That trip sounds awesome.
