I was looking around my room this morning (my tiny room!) and thought about all the different Austen things I have there. I decided I’d take some pictures of some of it and show you some of my nice “stuff”.
First of all here are some of my precious books!
And a close-up of the [...]
There are still a few more days left to vote in this years Jane Austen Regency World Awards. This is the third year of this event where books, film adaptations, actors and actresses (in connection with Jane Austen) that have come out this year are nominated for this award. And we, the fans, get to [...]
A few days ago for some reason we were talking about our travels, and suddenly remembered that it was exactly, on the day, five years since we arrived in Fiji (yeah I know, we acknowledge strange anniversaries like this in my family). And I realized too that then it must be more or less five [...]
I hope you’ve all been enjoying a wonderful Christmas! Here in Sweden we always celebrate on Christmas Eve, and not Christmas Day as most of the world does. So we had our celebration yesterday. It was a relaxed day at home. My grandmother is here and also two friends of ours. We had a delicious [...]

First I had planned to make a visit to Number 1 Royal Crescent (a museum) [...]
Well, my fabulous title says it all really, doesn’t it? OK, maybe it doesn’t. I’ll give you some more details in any case.
The next day I once again dressed up in my costume, and my first stop that morning was the Jane Austen Center. Or, to be more exact, the Jane Austen [...]
So to continue where I left off.
After having wandered around the fair in Queen Square for a while, (there really wasn’t that much to see or do there apart from talking to people and studying different costumes) it was time for the next event on my schedule. That was the Regency Wedding. Now let me [...]

As soon as I had finished my breakfast I hurried up to my room to get changed into my costume. For the first time I had a complete outfit to wear! As I came downstairs [...]
