my 'non-selfie' selfie by quietpurplehaze

my 'non-selfie' selfie

Yesterday at Lacock Abbey I was getting togged up,in the dressing-up room, as a nun of the Augustinien order in the Abbey and trying to take a selfie for today. A fellow photographer asked if he could 'borrow' me for 2 mins. So I agreed on condition that he would send me a copy of the photo which he has - thank you, Tony!

The orderly life of a nun would have suited me, I think, plus plenty of material for bedtime reading.

I was always in plays in infants and junior schools: the Virgin Mary, the fishmonger's wife, the gypsy wife.........(stereotypical?!) Life changed a bit at secondary school stage.

What's that saying about regressing to one's childhood?

Hazel! You look gorgeous! And your come hither expression is not at all appropriate for a nun!

We'll you shocked me for a minute Hazel......thought you had been hiding your light under a bushel! Rather an amazing experience to dress up in nuns clothing.

Sister Hazel - what a great shot.

@quietpurplehaze of course Hazel.....I think that might be the idea LOL!

Excellent strategy to chat up the photographer! I think the lifestyle has its appeal but not so much prayers at 5am or whenever they have them.
