Hi Rosee
I love what you have put on the blog thankyou so much for doing this so we can all share it.
I haven't a clue how to add on so I'm sending you a couple of pictures to add on for me.
They were taken 15 Dec 2001 and I just love this photo of Clare in her evening dress. The story behind the evening dress is that Clare, Anne and myself had gone for afternoon tea at the China Tea House. We'd had a construtive day buying xmas presents for everyone nothing for ourselves..... Our treat was afternoon tea and a couple of glasses of wine or champagne. Can't remember, but it was one of those wonderful girly afternoons.
I was hosting a Xmas bash on the 15th as my brother Matt was getting married. I wasn't able to attend so decided to hold Xmas come wedding bash here. Dressing up and celebrating, I was the one looking for an evening dress. On the same level as the Tea house is this really lovely expensive evening wear shop. Of course we just had to go in slightly merry ....we had so much fun trying on all the dresses and when Clare put that one on she looked stunning! Anne and I were egging her on to buy the dress. We weren't going to let her leave the shop without buying it!
I've also found the photos of when we went to Macau to buy furniture and her table and screen. Going to give them to Tania to scan for me.
Hope you see you on line soon
Take care
hugs
Karen
