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

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.
