Savile Row – Saluting the magnificent sheep farmers of Britain.
My heart swelled with pride at the thrill of these sheep farmers bringing their sheep for a day trip to London to meet with the tailors of Savile Row – evoking as they do ballrooms & the larkiness of the endless cascading #Vintage-Champagne-fountains of my youth, & the floppy-haired boys fencing in chandaliered ballrooms.
Dapper Gentlemen in White-Tie who always stood when a Lady entered or departed a room & were perfectly happy to remove their jackets, roll up their double-cuff Edes and Ravenscroft sleeves in order to assist in birthing a lamb or foal mid-ball only to return to toast the lambs birth in champagne & swing from chandeliers & dance till dawn.
