> Yep, Australia. Adelaide to be specific. In Adelaide we discovered 1% alcohol ginger beer, sold as a soft drink at that time in Australia. And we were overflown by a flock of budgies one afternoon. I have that Nancy > Bradfield book too (although I think I got it off Amazon). It is lovely. It > totally makes me want to make Edwardian clothes (although I have nowhere to > wear them). The first edition, which I don't have, includes color images of some of the garments. The second edition (mine) has a drawings of a few more garments instead. There's also a paperback edition now. ------------------------------ We still have the budgies, but not the ginger beer I think. I have the paperback edition. Colour pictures would be nice, but I love the drawing of the 1913 evening dress in the back.
