Yesterday's office.
So lovely to talk about the #greensleevesproject with Bernadette Banner, for the Royal College of Needlework

15 January is #NationalHatDay, so here are the words to a #17thCentury song about different sorts of hats, The Ballad Of the Caps.
From An Antidote Against Melancholy, 1669
This is just one of many #earlymodern songs about clothing that we plan to record as part of the #GreensleevesProject

Watch the ruff carefully when she spins round - it has spangles in it and you can see them winking in the light.
