I donned my flimsiest dress (which considering the wind was not a good idea) and off we went.
There really is nothing I like more than after a hard week at work dolling myself out for a day out surrounded my beautiful old buildings and nature in all it's glory and Hardwick Hall really does have all of that.
You'll never know how tempted I was to climb up that turret and play the damsel in distress.
unfortunately there was no door and no stairs, the only way up would be to climb and in my dress that was a no no.
My outfit isn't vintage, I wouldn't want to scruffy up and true vintage by lying on the grass (as I am doing above) It's made up of a a dress I bought round about this time last year actually from Dorothy Perkins, a little cardigan from H&M (what would I do without that shop?) and of course so converse lite. You can still buy this dress on eBay for a fraction of the price I paid.
Judging from this photo you'd never guess that on Thursday I had the most horrific hair malfunction.
What happened was I had decided to dye my hair as my roots were coming through rather badly. I want to move away from bleaching though so I went from a slightly darker blonde however my hair did not go blonde at all. Correction, my roots went blonde but my hair went grey!
I never pictured my self as the kind of girl to cry over hair but many tears were shed that night.
However there was a rather strange but brilliant way of the grey.
I crushed up vitamin C tablets and mixed it with water until it became a paste. I then applied to it to my hair (not the roots though as I wanted that colour to stay) and within 15 minuets of applying it I was peroxide blonde again.
Handy little tip for you there ;)
Anyway back to Hardwick Hall...
The only flowers to be seen for miles were daffodils, there was hundreds of them.
Yes, daffodils and ducks were the main features of the day.
Till next time folks...
Do you even lift?
