My good college friend Melissa visited us from Washington DC this past weekend and it was great to catch up! We always have so much to talk about on our now nearly annual visits and it's such a treat.
Yesterday we headed down to Chawton to visit Jane Austen's home. This is where she edited manuscripts for Sense & Sensibility and Pride & Prejudice as well as writing Mansfield Park, Emma and Persuasion. For any Austen fan it's a must and Melissa was tickled pink to visit the house! It just reopened this weekend after a massive renovation and is such a charming quaint place to visit. I have long enjoyed visiting the house, so much so that I signed up to volunteer here as a steward once a month from August!
After our visit we headed to Farnham for a cream tea (bad I know), a stroll by Frensham Ponds and then home and to make up on missing out on the theatre, we settled down to enjoy an evening of 'Lost in Austen!' Thanks for visiting Melissa! Can't wait to catch up again soon!
