TRISH SYER (Kennard)

I was at a Meeting recently and happened to get talking about dolls (surprise, surprise!)

The lady I was talking to, who lives in the same town as I do, spent a lot of her childhood in Southern Africa.

It turned out that she knew Trish Syer (Kennard) personally, as they lived in the same street, in a place called "Christon Bank" which is approximately 30 miles outside Harare, Zimbabwe. The region is famous for it's' oranges. Trish is currently living in Oxford, England.

My friend also has a few of Trish's dolls. (It's a small world!)

HAPPY ST. DAVID'S DAY TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY!

The people of Wales (U.K.), always celebrate ST. DAVID'S DAY on March 1st.
On special occasions the people of Wales dress in the National Costume of Wales. There is a variation in the costume for each County in Wales. (Please see my page on my blog - "THE WELSH COSTUME" for picture postcards of ladies wearing the Welsh Costume.

Below is just a small selection of some of my dolls in Welsh Costume.
