Really enjoyed reading your piece. I can think of a number of uneasy dinners in both The Provincial Lady and in the Mapp & Lucia books, but am too filled with Sunday sloth to go and look them up properly. skiourophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200877834536477400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-29445291889083094072014-07-17T18:07:17.803+01:002014-07-17T18:07:17.803+01:00Yes - I really didn't cover murder story dinne...Yes - I really didn't cover murder story dinner parties here, that needs an entry of its own.Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-66990889236429507032014-07-17T16:19:13.635+01:002014-07-17T16:19:13.635+01:00Dinner parties, especially with family, can be mur...Dinner parties, especially with family, can be murder ... love the photo of the blue dress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-59517272072683065752014-07-15T15:11:24.369+01:002014-07-15T15:11:24.369+01:00Obviously time for you to write your own novel, Co...Obviously time for you to write your own novel, Col.Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-85175238925516675562014-07-15T08:43:33.907+01:002014-07-15T08:43:33.907+01:00Can I give real life examples - with extended fami...Can I give real life examples - with extended family and the odd wedding?

Did you ever see the film, with John Cusack? They changed a lot - giving it an American setting for example - but I liked that too. I don't think I ever did palazzo pants, and recently I threw out a pair of moderately wide trousers because I thought I was going to trip myself up in them....Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-79897204749145853572014-07-12T06:56:46.442+01:002014-07-12T06:56:46.442+01:00Nice piece at the Guardian.

In a previous life, when I was very, very young I had a pair of palazzo pants like that, not bright red.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-80512341473438806162014-07-11T17:07:05.612+01:002014-07-11T17:07:05.612+01:00Thanks so much Margot, and I'm looking forward...Thanks so much Margot, and I'm looking forward to a 'Confessions...' post on murder-filled dinner parties....Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-1992581248799335982014-07-11T13:08:13.693+01:002014-07-11T13:08:13.693+01:00Moira - I love this piece!

All that interaction and all of those hidden agendas! And what a rich resource for fine clothes, too! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
