Gaiman party and Basing house ruins
Internet access has been limited - sorry for lack of emails and comments. Internet at home fell over at the weekend, not that it was particularly reliable to begin with! And I've actually been working at work, so...! Normal service will return asap.
So, as some of you may have gathered, I had a party this weekend. It wasn't to celebrate anything (although I may have to see about doing something similar - possibly involving less garden - in October for my birthday), other than the fact that Neil Gaiman is an awesome author. And an excuse to drink nice wine and hang out with cool people. :-)
Laura as (I believe!) The Queen of the Dark from Mirrormask. This is the only one I'm not 100% sure of, so if I'm wrong, tell me! :-)
Tinks as Lamia from Neverwhere.
My good self as Door from Neverwhere.
Jackie, Jon, and Ro as Death, Destruction and Delirium from The Endless.
Matt as Crowley from Good Omens.
Caro as Agnes Nutter from Good Omens.
Beav and Jamie as the Old Man and Septimus from Stardust.
And my current desktop background :-)
If anybody wants higher res copies of any of the pictures, or non-Photoshopped copies (I may have played a little...), just ask! :-)
And then on the Sunday there was a trip to Basing House ruins. This was most excellent, if a little hot, and I managed to take some decent pictures.
Unfortunately this picture doesn't show the awesome ruins (or my pretty red shoes) :-(
However, this one shows the ruins...and Ro :-)
This was taken inside the Tudor barn - I love that roof!
