I've been a member of a living history society for 4 years (Napoleonic). We made all our costumes ourselves and pretended to live in the 19th century like the movies by Jane Austen! My sister Christha at the right, me at the left! This was at castle Loevestein!

Have you seen Pride and Prejudice?
Nov 17th ReplyChadSyphrett
Yes! What do you like about that story? I watched at least 2 movie-adaptions of the Pride and Prejudice novel.
Nov 17th ReplyStezi
I love the mini series with Colin Firth best. Of course I read the books all and visited the Jane Austen house in the UK!
Nov 17th ReplyChadSyphrett
I'm glad you enjoyed so many features of that story and the author's former home. I hope you'll be able to visit more important places often.
Nov 17th ReplyStezi
I did already visited many nice places (f.e. Salzburg, where Mozart lived)
Nov 17th ReplyChadSyphrett
Oh great! Those must've been lovely tourist-locations. I didn't mean you haven't been to enough wonderful sites.
