I'm in Warwickshire in the late 1940s and I've just been to a party.

And I'm in Thrace, in the savage winter of 1877/78, as the Russo/Turkish War reaches its climax. Victorious in Bulgaria, Russian forces are now thrusting towards Constantinople/Istanbul, refugees clog the roads, murderous Bashi Bazooks run riot and the Cossack patrols know no mercy. And that's without the intrigue at court...

For a hilarious (but poignant) take on Victorian children's parties try Edmund Gosse's "Father and Son"

Languishing in a fictional 19C British gaol serving time for a murder I didn't commit.

The book is called "The Haunting" by Alan Titchmarsh.

Thank you

At the moment, I'm writing about Winchester in 1919 so I'll be interested to see how Alan Titchmarsh describes it.

He doesn't mention the city much, but there is one bit where the main character goes into the cathedral and sees the famous Bible.

I'm still in Victorian London, and now also in Forks, Washington.

I've gone to stay with my aunt in Iyot House in an unnamed hamlet. I've just met my cousin for the very first time and I'm finding her quite disturbing.
