When I first started my blog, I did a series of posts of me dressed in rather wonderful dresses 👗, in a number of different gardens.  I never really explained the reason for these - and really is just because I love dresses - proper dresses and because it is fun photographing in gardens and outside country houses.  Mummy very kindly took all the photos for these 'shoots' and we have had a really very fun time exploring a number of gardens and houses, and I am looking forward to doing more 😊.  Although I am not always the easiest model - I make funny faces by accident, and sometimes I get embarrassed about being photographed in public so we have minor Mother / daughter heated discussions - however mostly we have come away with some really excellent photos and have greatly enjoyed ourselves.Here is a lovely photo shoot, shot at Amberley Castle 🏰in Sussex.  I am wearing a vintage dress 👗, it really is a proper princess 👸dress, and sometimes I can't quite believe people actually went to parties in dresses such as these (actually I really wish we still did).  The dress in the bright blue looks wonderful against the castle backdrop, and we had a really good sunny day ☀️ for photographing.  Amberley Castle was built by the Bishops of Chichester, and there has been a structure there since 1103 - the fortifications, walls and gatehouse arrived around 1377.  It really is a rather whimsical place, with ruins still inside the walls, they are now a rather stunning feature of the garden.  Really the best part is that it is a hotel, so you can go and stay within the castle walls.  The drive slopes down hill away from the castle entrance and it really does feel as though a prince might gallop 🐎 up any moment and sweep you away....Happy Easter!!Alice xxxPhotos taken by Sarah Bray
