travelled back to the 1860s in Brisbane

Life is a whirl isn't it?
Last week Europe; this week backwards in time to the 1880s.

Like the veritable Doctor I acclimatised very quickly.
 I left my calling card at the front door.

I was served a civilised afternoon tea. The good china was out I can tell you.

A discussion was had regarding how many trunks and wine chests to take when travelling abroad. The answer of course is dependant on the number of staff acoompanying one.

I do prefer to leave my stuffed sleeve dog (it's a real thing;I googled it) at home though.

I inspected the linen cupboard.

 

then had to rejoin the 21st Century

Back in our yard there are recent developments.

 

.....and washing up isn't a chore at all, even though I have no servants in 2012.

 

 

Until next week......
