Literary Ladies who Lunch!
Today might have been bitterly cold but it didn’t stop me from meeting fellow Janeites Jane Odiwe, Juliet Archer, Monica Fairview and – all the way from America – Abigail Reynolds.
The beautiful church of St Marylebone was the perfect rendevouz for literary fans as it was where Lord Byron was baptised and was also the setting of Robert Browning’s marriage to Elizabeth Barrett.
We enjoyed a warming lunch in the crypt and then continued our chat on a walk around Regent’s Park, all of us agreeing that it was lovely to get away from the keyboard and talk to real people every now and then!
Then it was back home to check up on my lovely chickens who are all settling in really well. I’ll post some more ‘chick pics’ soon!
Lovely to meet with you today! I really enjoyed our lunch and walk as well as the herons and the abundance of bird life. Hope to see you again soon.
And so lovely to meet you too, Monica. I can’t believe how many herons we saw! We’ll have to go back again – preferably when it’s a little bit warmer!
What a lovely day we had – I can’t remember laughing so much for ages. We must do it more often!
