youtu.be/kPqMS7Wms5U?... I’m really looking forward to watching this series starting this Sunday. The book was a treat to read. Truth be told, I was rooting for Mary in this book more than I did for Lizzie in Pride & Prejudice! 😮

Just acquired a new rose for my mum’s garden. It’s called “The King’s Rose”, it was launched for the Chelsea Flower Show. Some people have said it doesn’t have a scent, but I can vouch it has rose and honey tones. I like it a lot 😀

The problem with “move fast and break things” is that what they’re breaking is people and their lives. I’ve found all my published books on this register. I think most authors will find theirs too. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

It seems that President Trump admires Napoleon. I hope for all the Americans I’ve befriended over the years that this *admiration* doesn’t turn into something worse. youtu.be/ZXGRp7XefUg?...

I’ve been looking through scores of old postcards collected by my Great, great Aunt, Mary “Molly” Hall (1876-1928). Thanks to these, arguably the Edwardian equivalent of text messaging, I’ve been understanding her working class life. One filled with female friends and family responsibilities.

RIP John Tinniswood, aged 112. I only discovered this year that I was distantly related to John, being his 2nd Cousin (twice removed). www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
