But not this year! I am planned. I can fit all heritage events into our busy social calendar! Except the Shakespearean recitals at the Arts Centre. If I am to attend that, I merely have to gatecrash the private preview this Friday night with the Lord and Lady Mayoress.
So yes, we do that.
Of course I don't tell the little grits! I tell them the man with the chain is game for a laugh, and is joining in with the Tudor dressing up theme by putting on his home-made necklace of Esses.
I only tell them what we have accomplished on the way home in the car. Tsk. There's no need for all that gasping and horrified staring. I say, education knows no barriers, especially not social ones. And it's an education in itself, to brazenly walk somewhere you're not invited, no-one knows who you are, and then spread out your picnic cloth and rip open your value coleslaw.
Girls, treat it simply as another life lesson.
