i feel like before i move on to the london coffee festival pics,
snapshots from my trip to beijing, shots of new trainers,
coffees and self-portraits in restaurants and at location sites...
oh and my interview with a korean magazine...
i should finish telling you about my visit to jane austen's house.
so here goes.
1
some old copy of pride and prejudice on display.
must be worth a few bob.
2
"she is tolerable"
what an excellent line.
3
the original table where jane austen would sit down and write
pride and prejudice, sense and sensibility and also do the odd crossword.
4
which is pretty amazing considering how difficult it is to use quills.
remember ?
5
a few foreign editions kicking around.
6
er... some sort of dress
7
you can just imagine jane austen standing there by the window
looking out at coachloads of tourists coming to her house.
8
one of my favourite illustrations on display.
i like that those young lads are a bit afraid of the miserable old bloke.
it's precisely what i look for when i go into a coffee shop in soho and
start scowling at the young lads with big beards who are sitting there
poncing about on facebook and not drinking a coffee.
9
the caption for the previous illustration.
maybe i'll commission a version of the illustration with me entering a coffee shop
and a couple of soho wasters saying a modern day equivalent.
10
next time i go to jane austen's house i must remember to take a wire
coathanger and a piece of blue-tac.
11
if you're ever in the chawton area do pop over to jane austen's house.
even if you're not a massive fan, there's a good boozer and a cracking little cafe over the road.
and finally for today, another trailer.
there's something about this trailer that i can identify with.
can you guess which part ?
no... not that part... the final bit when he's driving, singling along to marky mark.
grrr !
