FRIDAY'S HUNT and WEEKEND REFLECTIONS

For Fridays Hunt today we have the letter S, Favourite shot and Amazing and I am also linking with Weekend Reflections. Well we have just finished an AMAZING four days at Mount STEWART where we were telling the STORY of The Magic Inkpot that had been written by Lady Edith Londonderry.  I was playing the part of Nanny STEVENSON and below I am taking a breather from the children Mairie and Robin and SITTING in SILENCE looking at the beautiful autumn colours REFLECTING on the lake and this is my FAVOURITE image this week.

Yes that is me. I love playing a role that I  am not recognised.

This is the STORY book, The Magic Inkpot.

The magical crystal SHIP called the Ocean SWEEPER is lit up and when the people viewed it, it was the only item illuminated in Lady Londonderry’s SITTING room. In the STORY, it is how the children travel to the SEABED on STRANGFORD  Lough. If you look at yesterday's post there is a better shot of the SHIP.

This is the cast on the SATURDAY which 

was the first day of this SPECIAL event.
The girl in the maroon crinoline dress was the Housekeeper on SATURDAY.
From L to R Claire, Kerry, Sharon, Evie, Jeff, Me and Katherine.

This is Dagda Mor, the ancient Irish King

       This is Dervilla the witch of Scrabo and when this SINISTER witch                                    cackled, you heard it all over the house!!

This is Sarah, Nanny Stevenson’s Nursery maid in Lord Castlereagh’s study.

This is ladies maid standing on the main staircase.  
The painting, ‘Hambletonian, Rubbing down’ is considered by many to be the finest work ever created by famed artist Stubbs.

Th

The STAFF had dressed all the rooms up to look a bit SCARY and were usually only lit with tea lights candles which added to the overall SPOOKINESS.

That SHINNY SKELETON on the piano could do with 

SOME SOLID STUFF to eat, I thought!

This SCOTTY dog looks a bit half STARVED to me!!

This SPOOKy man was at the front door of the house and was

SCARING everyone SKINNY!

I preformed 2 days and this is my SECOND day’s cast on the MONDAY.
From L to R. Me, Maureen, Katherine, SHIRLEY, Mark, Ecie and Janet.

This is a giant SPIDER in the entrance Hall and

 a blood SPLASHED SKULL below.

This is the footman and the house maid who sometimes walked together slowly around the house with SOLEMN faces and it made you feel very uneasy.

This is Mrs Toyland the Housekeeper, SPORTING a SPLENDID gown and she greeted everyone who came to visit

This witch is STIRRING one of her SPELLS in the cauldron.

We finish with the footman, standing on the STAIRS carrying her Ladyships’ SUITCASE and SHOES.

I hope you enjoyed seeing these photographed of this AMAZING event as much as we all did performing in it.
