William and I have been watching Downton Abbey. In the last episode of the first season, imagine my surprise when Lord and Lady Grantham attempted a garden party. They had silver tea service and evidently sent a memo instructing everyone to wear natural linen. Hurrumph. They obviously have no idea.
Let’s not forget that we had Ricky Nelson’s “I Went to a Garden Party” playing on a phone in a plastic cup. Let’s do a side-by-side comparison: Piper Steet Garden Party vs . . . .
My favorite garden party movie scene would have to be from Chocolat.
