We had a great time at the Jane Austen Centre yesterday.
Jane Austen is one of the very few women who didn't go in my book simply for being very well-known and not an "unsung" woman! Maybe one day, most of the women in the book will get their due!
Whilst we were there, I couldn't resist writing my book's title with a quill!
