Breakfast at Tiffany's; dinner in Lancaster

Shock, horror! Yes, I am a huge fan of Audrey Hepburn. Imagine my delight when I saw this shop window on my way to dinner tonight! Elegance comes to Lancaster.

 

Audrey Hepburn was a Belgium*-born actress who played a role in the Dutch Resistance during World War II.

She helped the Resistance by performing in secret ballet recitals to raise money for the resistance. She delivered coded messages, documents, and the underground newspaper by bicycle. She also worked as a doctor's assistant during the battle of Arnhem and cared for children who had been traumatized by the war.
