Good morning! Thanks for stopping by last Monday for a peek at my upcoming book. If you missed that post, you can find it here.

Good morning, and I hope you’re safe and well. Thanks for stopping by for a chat. You bring your tea or your coffee, and I’ll bring the snacks. Virtual ones, but hey, what can we do? A while ago, I was searching through Regency cookbooks for some nibbles that could feature in a scene in …
Hello again in this month of proposals! Hope you’re keeping well and that you’re most agreeably engaged 😊 Thanks for stopping by ten days ago to read my ‘blast from the past’ (if you haven’t read it, you can find it here). And now here comes the ‘new-one-never-before-seen.’ Sending hugs and good wishes from across …

Two turtledoves and dreams of their merry, merry Christmastimes at Pemberley or at their house in town. In early wedded bliss, perhaps – or surrounded by (more or less welcome) guests – or later, when there are children at Pemberley and the new custom Prince Albert had brought from his home country had begun to catch …
So, Nosy November… 😊. Three cheers for Amy D’Orazio for suggesting such a fun theme for this month! ‘Follies and nonsense, whims and inconsistencies do divert me, I own, and I laugh at them whenever I can,’ Elizabeth said to Mr Darcy, and we have good reason to believe that Jane Austen shared that view, …
We’re almost at the end of the month and Halloween is just around the corner. But did you know about other ways in which the countryfolk of Ye Olde England used to amuse themselves on wet and cold October days? In my forays in second-hand bookshops I came across a couple of gems that give …
