Whatever happened in 2014?

After a year of careful planning and hard work, we did, indeed, put together a marvelous tour itinerary, revisiting some favorite spots from the 2012 tour and adding a new costumed event. But, due to a crazy change in immigration law where we live in Africa, my travel visa lapsed and could not be renewed until after the tour! Thankfully, my well-traveled and very gracious husband stepped in and lead my tour for me, and I chimed in on Skype now and again to chat with the group and see how things were going. It was a huge disappointment to miss my own trip, but I’m so glad it went off without a hitch and was a roaring success. Here are some photo highlights thanks to Cathy Hay of Your Wardrobe Unlock’d, who was a special speaker on this trip and took lots of pictures!

From Cathy: Today, the best part: we go behind the scenes at the Charles Paget Wade (Snowshill) Collection. This is the third private study appointment of the week - but I'm not allowed to share pictures of the goodies. (The ladies are dressed in Regency gowns, as there is a private ball after their visit to Berrington Hall--dance lessons and history!) — From Cathy: Today, the best part: we go behind the scenes at the Charles Paget Wade (Snowshill) Collection.

And a delightful photo of the entire group (including four extra guests who came for the promenade). Such lovely frocks and accessories!

Finally, here’s a fantastic video of the Jane Austen Festival’s Grand Costumed Promenade. Our group is featured shortly after the red coats begin to march.

We are really excited about 2015! Due to popular demand, we have added a second (and completely different!) trip in December. Check out all the details at the new tour site. We only have 16 slots open in either tour and must book a minimum of ten guests for each tour to take place. Come join us!
