Tell me about the UK and wool. All the sheep we passed on the way to
Litchfield (We actually slept quite near a place called Yarnfield) should have
been a clue.
We were there in the beginning of September. The first few days were
(unseasonalbly) warm to hot. Then it cooled off to what the weather usually
was. Luckily I had brough some of my wool things. They are usually WAAY too
hot to wear down here in North Carolina and Virginia, except for maybe January
or February. Wool petticoats and jackets and were JUSTt the thing . The wool
repelled the rain that we had one day, and although we were soaked, it really
didn't bother us. The logic of the clothing system dawned on me .
Even the men in ca. 1770's regimental weren't too bothered. They were soaked
and heavy, but not uncomfortable and cold.
18 cent. Mia in too hot old Charlotte,
Distaff with HM 64th of foot, from the grand Stafford, and back there for their
regimental reunion at the celebration of 300th anniversary of the founding of
the regimmment. They blessed our flags on the silver drums and everything.
