(And this was at the very beginning of the evening)Boo's school held a parent Summer Ball at the weekend and Mr Boo & I decided we'd go as we are very sad and don't get out very much !
The company was great and the evening was such a laugh, we were so glad we went.
(A little black Monsoon number)I'm not one for dressing up, I'm usually to be found in jeans and wellies or my Fitflops or crocs. We went to Royal Ascot the week before so to get all dolled up twice in such a short period of time was quite a shock to the old system. But y'know what ? I really quite enjoyed the whole pallava.
I bought a new Lancome foundation which must have worked as my friend kept saying how young I looked. I even bought some 'Smokey Eyes' Benefit make-up ... Ooh La La as my friend Edyta would say.

Can you see Mr Boo's reflection in my eye ?

Having a real laugh during dinner. Mr Edyta was very, very naughty and had me in fits on more than one occasion. In fact all 'the boys' were very naughty as I seem to remember a wager which contained the words 'Knickers' and 'Not'. Hmmmm .......... detention boys !
This is Edyta, we always say she'd look good in a black bin liner. How glam eh ? She could wear something from the cheapest of cheapest shops and still look like she's walked out of Chanel.We hate her ! (only joking)

Mr Boo, who incidentally is the real James Bond. Scrubs up well eh ?

And this my dear friends is how not to attempt to sew. A 12kg Springer Spaniel sat on your lap is probably not very sensible but he just wanted to come in and have a cuddle and share his smelly old knotty with me.
He doesn't like to be far away from me ~ I call him my little shadow.
Well, only 5 days left to Handm@de Winchester, Aghhhhhhhh. Panicking me ? Nah .... Gulp !!!!!

We gor let out twice this weekend Laurie. Almost never happens and it was so good to dress up, though like you I am usually not bothered. Maybe it is a sign that we need to leave the house more? You look very glam and the Handmade Fair will be fine! x
Awww, you look gorgeous Missus. And that picture of your Mister shows that young Boo has his eyes. Glad you had a good time ... and good luck for Winchester! x
Oh looks like you had a lot of fun. Have fun in Winchester. Kim
