Australia? The one time I visited Australia was around Easter (autumn
down there). In Sydney I bought my copy of Nancy Bradfield's book
with the drawings of real garments, in Adelaide I got a c.1912 parasol
really cheap in an op-shop (=thrift store), and in Perth I picked up
many yards of nice cotton sateen, and visited a monastery to look at
the antique vestments on display in their museum.

Yep, Australia. Adelaide to be specific. Although I was in Canberra when I
wrote that note, where it was decidedly more autumnal. 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).
And I apologise for the strange lateness of my message. I was on the road as
I said, and forgot that my ISP refuses to send emails from unsecured
networks. So it sat in cyberspace for a week.
