Jane Austen's life, times and works explained and discussed
If you would like to read about the walk around Lyme Regis as Jane Austen knew it, in the company of Admiral Croft ( a.k.a. Fred Humphrey, shown below on the Cobb in front of the steps known as “Granny’s Teeth” )…

It sounds to have been a fascinating time and though I like Lyme best in the winter, I do wish I’d been there to join in this particular piece of fun!

Julie, I really enjoyed this. Those steps look like nothing on earth, from any angle or description. No wonder JA made them famous. Really great link and tour, thank you.

Not really a reply to you, but there’s nowhere else to reply — it’s BLANK after your reply — and never let it be said I couldn’t add my two cents (or, usually, at LEAST two dollars!) :-)
All I wanted to say was that I would have LOVED to be there with the Admiral!
Thanks, Julie
