Now, technically she's a little Welsh girl as she was born in Wrexham, but for the sake of this day, the fact that her family are all English, and that I couldn't foresee myself being able to make a stovepipe hat and shawl etc, she was definitely English today.
It's not easy deciding what is national dress for an English girl......... I googled a bit, then decided on the outfit below, which, thanks to some serious corner-cutting I managed to rustle up by hand as I don't have a sewing machine. We thought she looked a bit like Miss Muffet so she screamed at the spider sitting beside her for the first photo.
But then decided that long sleeves were just too hot, so went for a slightly Victorian look this morning.
(Don't you just love the way she poses and gazes beneath the tree...)
There was a big parade at school this morning and a fair with lots of amazing food to try this afternoon, as The British School has something like 37 nationalities represented in its cohort. (The Korean food got my vote.)
And then she got a real treat - having her face painted by Natasha - Eve heaven!
