#NorthangerAbbeyNovember

I know we have our #Pemberlittens and we tag @sprainedbrain but I also like a specific hashtag for each book like #northangerabbeynovember

So far all I've come up with is
#musingsonmansfieldpark for our Chapter a Day Reading starting February 1st.

Who has a clever one?

Cheers to Catherine & Henry! I've always loved Northanger Abbey. IMHO the reason it's not as popular as other Austen books is people don't get that it's Satire. Jane has here tongue in cheek and pokes such fun at Gothic Novels of her time.
It's been a delight my fellow #Pemberlittens. 😊

Looking for this old photo for #chawtonhousephotochallenge I'm doing on Instagram. Thought I would use for today's #Pemberlittens post. W/ #NorthangerAbbeyNovember is coming to and end. Time to make a Dec Stack. Will concentrate on P & Prejudice retellings I didn't get to in Oct since N Abbey retellings are scheduled for Jan. @sprainedbrain

Previous post 2yrs ago: Of course I brought home Lizzy, Darcy, & Jane. 😊

For all the evils of Social Media; there are some truly wonderful things. Like the fact that while I sit down with cup of tea and my #chapteraday of Northanger Abbey; @Mitch has received #AVeryAustenHolidaySwap box I sent. 😊

"Remember that we are English," says our hero. "Rainy day. Perfect for afternoon tea, hidden staircases, and our heroine wandering the abbey. ?

“Mr. Allen had only one small hot-house, which Mrs. Allen had the use of for her plants in winter, and there was a fire in it now and then.”
“He is a happy man!” said the General, with a look of very happy contempt.

As a gardener, I love all the discussions of hot houses and gardening in this chapter. Here's a picture of my Glasshouse where my Citrus spend the winter. 👩‍🌾

SamAnne Wish I could have a pinery! 4y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @SamAnne I have one in a pot. I doubt it's going to yield a 100. 😉 4y
Nute Gosh! That is nice! 4y

Crinoline_Laphroaig @Nute It was a dream come true. 😊 4y
Nute I can see why! I would want to spend all my time in there!🙂 What else do you have in there? It stays warm in there all year long...what temperature? Do you live in a cold weather state? Please forgive all of the questions. I find this fascinating! 4y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @Nute and I love talking about it! Citrus, Plumerias, Crown of Thorns, Desert Rose, & Herbs. My English Roses that I grow in Containers also get put inside when we have really cold weather here in Oklahoma. Glasshouse uses Solar Power for heat so temp never gets below 50 degrees F. On sunshiny days it warms up nicely to 75/80 degrees. Perfect to sit in w/book & tea. There's a backup heater for when 🌞 doesn't shine and it gets really cold. 4y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @Nute Oklahoma Winters are fairly mild but we can have bitterly cold weather. Then turn around and have 85 degree day in January. 4y
Nute 50 to 80 degrees F in a sheltered spot in the winter...NICE! Your entire property looks beautiful. The things that we have in our lives to be thankful for. Like you said earlier, “a dream come true!” I‘m so happy for you!😃 4y
Crinoline_Laphroaig @Nute Thank you. Having come from a long line of cranky women, I have always tried to keep a positive attitude. I'm very grateful to live out in the country right now. I can still get out and enjoy my garden. I've noticed that people who have hobbies they can do at home and especially Readers seem to be dealing with the best with staying at home. 4y
Nute Yes!🧡 4y

"and, in the course of a few minutes, she found herself with Henry in the curricle, as happy a being as ever existed."

Old photo with my Henry (yes that's actually his first name but he doesn't use it)and his Curricle - mint condition 300ZX. ? ??
