Memoirs of the Celebrated Mrs Woffington: 07/11/10 - 14/11/10

http://mrswoffington.blogspot.com/2010_11_07_archive.html

Monday, 8 November 2010. A Photo Blog of Bath. Although not exactly 'the season' Mr Woffington and I decided it was high time for a holiday last week, and we chose Bath, not least because we had some vouchers for Thermae Bath Spa. And also because one of my readers had told me about a very interesting Georgian museum which I was itching to visit. We were generally unlucky with the weather, apart from a few hours of brightness one morning, but that allowed for a walk through Royal Victoria Park. For recom...

Memoirs of the Celebrated Mrs Woffington: Chips off the Old Block

http://mrswoffington.blogspot.com/2010/06/chips-off-old-block.html

Monday, 7 June 2010. Chips off the Old Block. A while ago we got wind of a fundraising scheme by The Friends of Lichfield Cathedral. Photographs © Memoirs of the Celebrated Mrs Woffington. I can remember touching the walls of Arundel castle in West Sussex when I was a kid. I still remember the special feeling, like something passing into me from the stone. I still get that feeling when ever I touch centuries old items. Regards, Le Loup. 8 June 2010 at 00:33. Best wishes, Mrs W. 8 June 2010 at 10:42.

Memoirs of the Celebrated Mrs Woffington: Prince Frederick's Barge

http://mrswoffington.blogspot.com/2010/08/prince-fredericks-barge.html

Thursday, 5 August 2010. There's something else I wanted to recommend at the National Maritime Museum. On the ground floor they have an extraordinary object: the original barge built for George II's eldest son, Prince Frederick. Left), in 1732. It's not a reproduction! This amazingly rich, gilded boat is one of the museum's largest objects at around 19.m in length, and now very delicate. It was designed by the architect William Kent. Which used fanciful Chinese imagery) with the footman and 21 oarsmen dr...

Die Korsaren sind unter euch. The well dressed Wench weibliche Piraten. Überraschung: Es gibt keinen Dresscode für weibliche Piraten. Es gibt ein paar Piratinnen von denen wir wissen, und diese haben sich meist nach der Männermode gekleidet. Wird auch praktischer gewesen sein. In der amerikanischen GaoP-Reenactmensscene gibt es viele Frauen die sich dafür entscheiden als Schankmaid aufzutreten. Und außerdem wäre in unserem Fall dann wohl Elbenkleidung angebrachter. Und auch heute wieder der Hinweis:.

http://mrswoffington.blogspot.com/2008/12/johnsons-house-gough-square.html

Tuesday, 2 December 2008. Dr Johnson's House, Gough Square. I thought you might like to see some photos I took in August 2007 on a research trip to Dr Johnson's London house at Gough Square. Just off Fleet Street. Above is Johnson's cat, Hodge, standing on the dictionary with oyster shells at his feet (oysters were a cheap food in those days and quite suitable for cats! Boswell, in his Life of Johnson. While we were there, we also visited Johnson's local, Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese. Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese.

Monday, 5 January 2009. Georgian Liverpool: Part 1. So there we were in Liverpool, just as the Capital of Culture. Year came to a close. My boyfriend, having browsed around the new shopping centre Liverpool One. Of which he strongly disapproves - did nevertheless manage to find a very interesting book: Georgian Liverpool: A Guide to the City in 1797. After a nose around Albert Dock. As people now call it - (see my picture below). Dr Moss tells us:. Coming next. The Exchange. Get The Latest Updates. I liv...

Memoirs of the Celebrated Mrs Woffington: Lichfield Literature

http://mrswoffington.blogspot.com/2010/10/lichfield-literature.html

Thursday, 7 October 2010. It's the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness in Staffordshire, and that means one thing: the Lichfield Literature. Festival is underway. There's a range of literary treats between now and Sunday, including a handful of creative writing workshops (I have my eye on Catherine Fox's Do You Have A Novel In You? Give us a talk on Elizabeth Gaskell's world. Margaret Woffington, by Jean-Baptiste van Loo, c.1738. Get The Latest Updates. What is a feed? View my complete profile. Tempu...
