We were very lucky to have such a beautiful day on tuesday, but by saturday the Royal Enclosure was awash with mud. My shoes and tights were covered in thick brown mud, despite the large quantities of tree bark put down to soak up the rain. And rain it did. So I wore my ankle length pink tweed coat, at my age warmth is more important than glamour.
But talking of age and stamina, only the Queen and the D of E were present from the Royal Family on the last day, the rest too exhausted, whilst the 85 and 90 year olds held the fort.
It was great fun going with my girls, who looked gorgeous , and some old friends. We all did so well on the betting, I was £25 up on the day !
Glorious Mud
