As we admired the blue of the sea and the red of the pohutakawa we spotted something you don’t expect to see near shore at midday: a kororā (little penguin, also known as the little blue penguin or fairy penguin)
My Frou Frou Francaise is silk taffeta covered in ruffles and lace, and there’s an equally ruffly Marie Mantle to pair with it. What’s not to love?
It’s winter here in New Zealand, and cold and dark and windy and rainy. My local historical costuming friends and I decided to brighten up the shortest (ish) day of the year, and have a Georgian dinner.
