OTD in 1836, HMS Beagle docked at Falmouth, after a 5 year voyage.
Charles Darwin wrote in his diary, “To my surprise and shame, I confess the first sight of the shores of England inspired me with no warmer feelings, than if it had been a miserable Portuguese settlement.”

Just a little peace☺️

There’s also a 7 Brew Coffee around the corner.

A brilliant ending for the season!😭✨
I’m glad Bertha is not getting off that easy. I still haven’t forgiven her for the arranged marriage and manipulation either.
Also, the acting in the first 7 minutes was top tier! Emmy’s all around!
See y’all in season 4!✨

I just finished Blood of Zeus, Season 3.
I have too many questions:
*spoilers*
Persephone is just a shade now? She wasn’t part of the final scene on Olympus.
Does Demeter ever tell Hades about this?
What about Melinoë and Zagreus? Still sleeping?
No reunion in the Underworld?!
