early because I've got a lot on tomorrow.
1️⃣ Invitation to Chatsworth
2️⃣“My good fellow—if you do not leave off that dreadful noise at once, I shall be forced to call you out; and though it has been my habit, in affairs of honour, never to aim for the heart—in your case, my dear sir, I should be sorely tempted.”
3️⃣ Cassandra with the Chamberpot ⬇️
#Pemberlittens we're off to Canterbury Races and doing a spot of gardening with November's
#JaneAndTheExcellentReadalong
Title references classic garden design from Alexander Pope: "In laying out a garden, the first and chief thing to be considered is the genius of the place."
The Gardener in me loved this one when I read for #JaneandtheYear2020 because it mentions one of my favorite garden designs - the HaHa. ⬇️
pick#Pemberlittens Here's this month's #JaneandtheExcellentReadalong Discussion Post.
pickI love revisiting 'what Jane calls “the gaieties” of the Christmas season two hundred years ago.' This one goes back on my #forevershelf. Later this month I'll be rereading #janeandthewaterloomap in anticipation of Feb 8th Release of #janeandtheyearwithoutasummer.

Prepping for start of tomorrow's #Pemberlittens Readalong of Mansfield Park. Reading Introduction so I'm ready for Chapter One. I've always struggled w/ Mansfield Park. Looking forward to Chapter a Day & group discussion. Mentions of MP in Jane and the Waterloo Map from my #janeandtheyear2020 has me excited. Thinking I'm going to have a new appreciation as I read through older eyes. 📖

pickYesterday I had to get out for errands. (& yes I 😷.) Anthologies are always hard to rate overall. Some stories are brilliant: Jane Austen's Nightmare
A Night at Northanger
Jane & the Gentleman Rogue - reason I bought. 11.5 of Jane Austen Mysteries.
#janeandtheyear2020
👍for those.

“Silly Catherine,” said the ghost of Jane Austen indulgently. “There are no such things as ghosts.” - Night at Northanger
I want to do this. Sadly I have no parlour clock that chimes. Will have to download some chimes for my phone alarm.
Our New Year's Eve/Day Traditions aren't changing that much. Never been go out on the town people. I do always dress up even to drink champagne at home. In a normal year I would invite a few friends. Obviously this year that's not happening. Food Traditions stay the same, just in smaller quantities. ⬇️
This pretty much sums up my 2020. 📚

5️⃣ Stillroom Maid Recipes. I really enjoyed them tucked into story.
6️⃣ Eat nothing but that doesn't mean I can't have Whisky becore bed. Plus if I have a good night's sleep I feel like I can do anything. ⬇️

8️⃣ Picnic in the garden. While enjoyed see the house when we visited Chatsworth, I loved the gardens.
9️⃣ This is one of my favorites in the Series because of having been to Chatsworth I can just see those scenes in my mind. 3d

2. Favorite quote: “It is far more comfortable to throw the guilt upon mysteries one cannot understand, than upon a human being disturbingly like oneself.”
3. Favorite character: Jane, of course.
4. Anything surprised you: It surprised me in the very beginning, when the dead person turned out to be a woman dressed in men‘s clothing. 2h
6. Would You Rather: Eat the tart made of veggies, eggs, and brains and have courage to do anything you wanted or eat nothing after 3pm and sleep soundly: I will sleep soundly. No brains for me! 2h
