Dickens Festival, Rochester
Posted: Sun 02 Jun 2019, 18:46
I made the journey to Rochester earlier today for the Dickens Festival. Quite a few people in Dickensian costume, helped by being based in the High Street which looks much as it must have done in Victorian times. There was even a Queen Victoria in her mourning dress who was marvellously in character. I saw her with a cigarette and asked for a photo. "That happens every time I light up." Definitely not amused. No shot, I'm afraid as I simply thanked her and moved on. There were plenty of other people who were willing subjects.
More photos to follow, probably in a blog when I get around to writing it in a few weeks time; I am rdiculously behind with "Shot of the Week" postings. With people in old fashioned dress, there were opportunities for incongruities such as the example below. I thought I was the only club member present, but have a sneaking suspicion Tom might have been there as well.
Incidentally, there is a Xmas version on 7 - 8 December which could make a good outing.
