Finished the Spencers. Charles Spencer has a fascination with history and a lot of information at his disposal. I descend from a Spencer, but not this family. It did help me to find my original Spencer, though - and last night, I learned on the internet that their farmhouse still stands almost 600 years later. So I have a house to go back to, just not Althorp 😆 gratuitous napping 🐩dog🐕

mandarchy P.S. this book is not at all about Princess of Wales Diana, so don't stack it if you want to read about her. It's all about her ancestors. 1y

I'm using all my willpower to NOT adopt a cat, and I keep seeing cat names. First Fritz Zwicky and now Humphrey Fish. Litter box litter box litter box!

Suet624 I‘m getting that urge too. 1y
Scochrane26 But cats are so fun & cute! You should definitely adopt one & then post pics 😀 1y
