What on earth can these people be doing all dressed up buying tickets at the station?
Even the gnome is pretty impressed.
And then when I got to Clapham Junction there were chaps in top hats.....weirder and weirder
I discovered they were on their way to Ascot.......
My cousin doubted if this belle in pink (seen shopping in Boots)
would be heading for the Royal Enclosure. Anyway........
Excuse me!
ReplyDeleteThese people weren't going anywhere in particular.
We English always dress for shopping (even when we're doing it online!)
It's called POSH!!
Personally I wouldn't be seen dead in Poundstretcher in anything less than full evening dress and tiara!
Ah! And I thought they were all dressed up and going to somewhere to celebrate.
ReplyDeleteOh Elizabeth, we really do need to get together when you get home. I have got a bunch of Clapham Junction tales for you.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, it's great to see your camera eye in action and to know that the London girls still like to dress up.
xo
Perhaps the belle in pink is heading for the Royal Enclosure - it`s Harry`s girlfriend isn`t it? I always see her in Boots.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad there are people somewhere in the world who still know how to dress up. Except for weddings and church and the granddaughter princess parties I seldom see such finery.
ReplyDeleteLadies with hats and gentlemen with top hats---only here on Halloween.
(Now if yer talkin; cowboy hats boots and spangles there's always a good rodeo)
Love the post and laughed out loud at all the comments. Fantastic ... and, do you know, those with cars then sit in fields that they have paid dearly to enter and get out the picnic and champagne, or rather valets do this, and sit around tables with sparkling white cloths and appropriate cutlery ... but their feet are often in the mud. All this I have witnessed in passing, from a bus.
ReplyDeleteYour photographs capture it all and bring back memories of my years in that area - thank you!

ReplyDeleteYour comment about the gnome made me smile.
ReplyDeleteTimes have certainly changed and Ascot shows just how much.
