I took this photo in the Lake District a few summers ago and it came up in my memories. The tree was bending over Ullswater lake making a beautiful contrast to the lake’s steely grey still water in the background.

What to do on day 22? Head to Rye of course, and step back in time with the literary folk at Lamb House. It's the last chance to enjoy the jazz era & see the house as per Mapp & Lucia!
Later, head to The Grapevine champagne and jazz bar in Conduit Hill for some live sax and bass.

The Enchanted April by Elizabeth von Arnim
The story takes us from misery to unexpected joy. What left the strongest impression was the part where the couples are referred to by a woman’s 1st name rather than a man’s surname. So they’re talked about as the Roses & the Carolines.

Thanks Laura, I haven’t read either of those
I'll check out Gibson's book, looks great! The Ian McIntyre biography of Hester is good, and the books by Mary Hyde too. I agree, very rough youth and awful husband ... And she got to choose her own happiness with Piozzi. Romantic.

Written c 30 years before P&P, this book was a revelation. I’ve given my copy away because you’ve got to share the good ones.

I've just posted up a blog post about the two visits I made this summer.
Does anyone know if Bosham was where King Canute told his courtiers that he could hold back the tide?

SHELLEY Poetical Works.
I can’t see when this was printed, and there are some beautiful illustrations in it by the Society of Decorative Art. It’s quite a tatty copy and earns it’s place on the basis of one poem, OZYMANDIAS. I never grow tired of it.
