I will never get anything done! I love the garden blog but at least here, I can “claim” I am learning something (instead of just drooling over the photos of flowers).

I look forward to all the topics, but an greatly enjoying the Christmas posts – a subject I know little to nothing about.

Sending Love and Christmas wishes from Maine
Jean

I particularly enjoyed the Slave-trade tie-in and your posts on the subject. I will be a frequent visitor at this blog.

I will only add a page to the blog when there is something to put on it ;-) So…its in the pipeline ;-) Watch this space……

You have always been quite informative in that area and – at least from my extremely unbiased (ahem) point of view – what could be more entertaining than reading about JA’s use of legal issues in her writings?

For example, 18th-19th c. entailments have obviously been a major plot device in her works, and I am often mindful of how we now have the modern Rule Against Perpetuities (at least here in the States) to prevent endless tails on real property at present. If you hadn’t explained so clearly the law as it stood then, I’d have never gotten the significance of the issue.

Any other legal areas you think interesting would be worthy of inclusion on your blog, I would think. But again, that is merely the opinion of an unbiased observer and fan.

Thanks Julie,
Tim

I used to visit Hampstead regularly when I lived in Islington: its not changed al that much ;-)
