From the fashion house You'll Catch Your Death In That
It works better in California Rosemary. or Florida.
Yes, I should think so. I wear more than that whilst bathing
Flooding because of warmal globing Parri.
Parri?You typing with your mouth full again?
"Betwixt the well and the harbour, the bathing machines are ranged along the beach, with all their proper utensils and attendants. You have never seen one of these machines. Image to yourself, a small, snug, wooden chamber, fixed upon a wheel-carriage, having a door at each end, and on each side a little window above, a bench below. The bather, ascending into this apartment by wooden steps, shuts himself in, and begins to undress, while the attendant yokes a horse to the end next the sea, and draws the carriage forwards, till the surface of the water is on a level with the floor of the dressing-room, then be moves and fixes the horse to the other end. The person within, being stripped, opens the door to' the sea-ward, where he finds the guide ready, and plunges headlong into the water. After having bathed, he re-ascends into the apartment, by the steps which had been shifted for that purpose, and puts on his clothes at his leisure, while the carriage is drawn back again upon the dry land; so that he has nothing further to do, but to open the door, and come down as he went up. Should he be so weak or ill as to require a servant to put off and on his clothes, there is room enough in the apartment for half a dozen people. The guides who attend the ladies in the water are of their own sex, and they and the female bathers have a dress of flannel for the sea: nay, they are provided with other conveniences for the support of decorum. A certain number of the machines are fitted with tilts, that project from the sea-ward ends of them, so as to screen the bathers from the view of all persons whatsoever."
Only if one is a Gentleman. Ladies must be suitably attired in Flannel.
I'd want a wet suit. The water in the UK is COLD.

I was idly reading this and suddenly realised it's my author page.So actually I'm entitled to direct you to pictures where the water is warmer and there is nekkid swimming

Cannibals and pirates, eh?I think I've been there before.
Anyway Patti, I now how something remarkably new planned :-)No expense is being spared!
And on an entirely different front my cup runneth over :-)A review of The Cartographer's Apprentice: Leave Them Wanting More
http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R7M5S3...
Aren't there some charming people about
The words 'Couldn't put it down'always hit the spot, don't they!Well deserved Jim, brilliant
I have just had an email from a lady I know who wanted to know which 'cartographer's apprentice' was mine. (Someone has published a book with exactly the same name a month after I did! I suppose such things happen)Anyway she's emailed me back to say that she's now reading my version and enjoying it :-)
The cover's not a patch on yours though Jim :~)
An eye patch, obviously.Whilst conversely, an american reviewer failed to notice the subtle differences between the prologue and the epilogue in The Showing, and thought the latter had been repeated by accident, knocking off a star in the process
To be fair, she did say the epilogue might have repeated the prologue deliberately, but pointlessly.The customer is always right.
Oh and by popular demand, the finale of the Kenehan Annual Swimwear Pageant, and also some coverage from the annual Tree Felling competition as wellhttps://www.facebook.com/TsarinaSecto...
Whoever demanded the second has just become popular, that's true
Tree felling and related sports are very popular in the Kenehan area, both men and women take part in them.
Twig felling. For beginners
Then you move up to branches?
Yep, then boughs
It'd make better TV than most sports; an added element of danger.
Kate Moss is modelling chainsaw trousers this year.. phnark.
I'm trying to imagine Kate Moss strutting down the catwalk in these...http://www.chainsawsnorfolk.co.uk/wp-...
The only time I ever bothered turning up anywhere in fancy dress I wore my chainsaw trousers, a checked shirt and rigger boots :-) (oh yes and the helmet with visor) http://www.toolbox.co.uk/handy-hp104-...(and we all ended up singing the lumberjack song) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zey85...
Patti's looking the other way so I'll just mention the new healthy way to get ready for Christmashttps://www.facebook.com/TsarinaSecto...
No squid, honest
There's no point if there's no squid.
So you were going to do something horrible in this thread, weren't you Patti...
Don't be an instigator GL.No one likes an instigator.
I'm a very tired little insect gator at the moment.
