Hmm...

Dearest
A gentle reminder has, er, reminded me to post something. Get back into the swing of things. So... can't think of much really. Not in the mood to indulge in any emo styled "noone understands me" ranting..and it would be bull anyway.
erm.
I have a bloody good weekend actually, spent more time in country houses then should be legal and realised all of Laura Jane's criticism of country houses can be pretty much blown about by Kedleston Hall and Calke Abbey. That's probably what my next post should be, when I can be bothered to think it through properly, "How Derbyshire proved the Feminist wrong". She really does talk utter rot... here's a preview, despite what she said about the class system being maintained by having people enter through the servants entrance, you enter through the main grand entrances for both of these properties. Kedleston is part of a local initiative to bring all cultures together in a variety of different artforms, for example being the staging area for a display of world dances. Calke has been preserved in the way it was received in 1982, cluttered up with stuff, not restored just preserved, they kept all the faded wallpaper, carpets and curtains and only replaced parts of the building that may have killed people otherwise. etc etc. very interesting.

So apart from the fact I have evidence to tell one scary lecturer she can still her class obsessed interpretations up where the sun don't shine, not a lot to report.

All my Love
