Ossy Osbourne’s first wife’s first cousin.
Cats: beauty, travels, typist & typewriter|Is visiting this week.
It’s true. She’s a lovely girl from Wales now living in a mill conversion in the south of France.
I attended her wedding in Shropshire a few years ago. It was held on a medieval estate with bride, groom and guests dressed in full Victorian period costume. A stunning sight to behold. Ossy didn’t show.
But one guest – and I won’t say who, other than to indicate that she was a fairly gifted typist – got her periods mixed up and showed up in Elizabethan (the first) costume, proving that one can show up at these things looking so three-centuries ago.
Fashion crimes were forgiven by bride and groom who lived happily ever after.
Elizabethan typist went on to greatness.

T’is all true, I fear, every last word of it.

“one can show up at these things looking so three-centuries ago”
Great line, GT. Cracked me up.

The Elizabethan period was a helluva lot more fun than the Victorian period. You simply dressed your nature.

Funny story. It’s Ozzy, by the way. Unless there is another person named Ossie Osborne, which there likely is, somewhere in the world. I wonder if Ozzy saw We Will Rock You? I wonder if he liked it?

What a blast that must have been, no matter what period of dress!
My brother is getting married tomorrow, Friday the 13th. The reaction to the date has been most interesting.
