My Autumn

The Country House: searching through the attic nursery in knee socks, a faded 60s babydoll and a woolly jumper with holes in the cuffs. Descending for coffee, emerald silk pyjamas with a fur-coat for warmth and last night's diamonds still in play. Outside in the damp air clothed in a prairie dress, scuffed leather boots, cable knit tights, a too-long cardigan and a tweed overcoat. Gin from mismatched crystal, a tulle gown of the nudest pink with feathered satin shoes and a tarnished tiara.
