The Waveney Valley Group meeting held on 29th September at Broome Village Hall.
The talk was about Victorian Country life, mainly about how the women
had to cope when husbands died, were jailed or transported, with
illegitimacy, with the lack of mod cons, lack of money etc.
Despite the credit crunch etc, we were all glad not to have been born
150 years earlier.
The competition was to dress a member in Victorian costume.
The winning entry from Thurlton was dressed in her nightie, and night
cap complete with candle.
.
This is our volunteer Pam in all her finery, She was voted third.
I have not shown the best bit, which was her saucy drawers, provided
by Joan Fountain.
These caused much delight in the hall when displayed by Pam!
