Never Judge a Book by its a Cover – Caitlin Williams

I shall be brief because I am packing. Next week I am off to ‘The Lakes’ – Elizabeth Bennet never made it as far – luckily for her she was diverted to Pemberley – but having already bagged my Mr Darcy, I am determined to see Windermere. I shall send a postcard! I just wanted …

Fantastical Austen – Happy Nutcrack Day

Happy Nutcrack Day! Doesn’t have the same ring to it as Happy Halloween does it?

Hello from Caitlin Williams

‘I think I may boast myself to be, with all possible vanity, the most unlearned and uninformed female who ever dared to be an authoress’ – Jane Austen What a big day for me. How fitting it is that I am writing my first blog post and joining Austen Variations on the same day my first-born goes back …
