Off to England

---

     I am busy packing up for another trip to England and won't have time to blog for the rest of the month. Below are some photos of a trip my husband and I took last year to Ireland, Wales and England. In Manchester, I visited the site of the Peterloo Massacre, an event I wrote about in my third novel, A Different Kind of Woman. A lowlight was staying at a posh B&B in Wales and feeling that the host regarded me as riff-raff. The house was much nicer than Fawlty Towers but the welcome wasn't so nice. But overall, we had a wonderful time--entranced by the beauty of the scenery in Ireland and Wales.
      I am making lots of interesting research discoveries and am happily rabbit-holing. I'll be visiting some archives in the UK. Back soon! Photos after the click.

Yorkminster

A tribute to Mary Wollstonecraft at Trinity Library, so much better than that monstrosity they erected at Newington Green

Visiting St. Patrick's at Evensong. Upside, transporting music. Downside, I think this is where I caught COVID.

Only another researcher can understand the pleasures of taking a seat at a library and digging in...
