son and heir of one of the richest and most prominent families in
England. Twenty-five years later, when the two families are settled into
the newly developed area of Belgravia, the events of the ball, and the
secrets, still resonate.
Looks great and atmospheric, lovely umbrellas...and nouveau riches!
ReplyDeleteHope it will be lavish, the cast is not really attractive, no big names in it.
DeleteCould be good!
ReplyDeleteI shall pass my judgement after I see ITV's Beecham House this month. They did everything crappy recently, so that will be their chance to redeem themselves :)
DeleteBelgravia - good stuff to be looking forward to.
ReplyDeleteHow graciously the ladies in the above pictures are holding their umbrellas!
Umbrellas are my nightmare and I'm their worst enemy! I break them, forget them, lose them.
They are very breakable these days, especially the cheap ones from China ;) I've noticed that they last about one or two usages :)
DeleteI want to go back to fancier times where women carried around such pretty umbrellas to shield them from the sun. You're right about those cheap China umbrellas. I had a brand new one in my car, used maybe once or twice, then got caught in a huge downpour and the damn thing wouldn't fully open. Gone are the days of quality made, I suppose.
ReplyDeleteWe should probably start buying more expensive ones.... but I'm too cheap for that!
DeleteYou and me both. I guess we get what we pay for.
DeleteEh, what can you do?
