Lost in Austen



Lost in Austen!





It's no secret that I completely adore the world of Austen and wish to part of that world, even if it for the tiniest of seconds. To stroll along Pemberly with Mr Darcy or to going with the Dashwoods on Sir John Middleton's estate. The world of Austen is just so magical that I wish to be a part of it. It's too good to miss out on!

So imagine my surprise when I accidentally stumbled across the Lost in Austen DVDs in my mother's dvd cupboard (I had asked as I was showing my friend Becky the Carry On films!) After Becky had gone home and I had, had a bath, I watched Lost in Austen for the first time. 

IT WAS AMAZING

It's about Amanda Price, a woman from modern London, who trades places with Elizabeth Bennett and  enters plot of the novel of Pride and Prejudice through a portal in her bathroom, to join the Bennet family and affect events disastrously.

I love it to bits because it's like massive fanfiction come to life on screen!

Plus it pretty much describes the realities of modern day people trying to fit into regency times, well it describes me at least!

It's so funny because Amanda Price is so definite to keep to the plot of the story that things go wrong because Elizabeth isn't there. 

It's my favourite TV series of all time and no matter what people say it always will be! It's definitely worth a watch or two ;)

There and Back Again

Hello again, my little petit filous! I have been on quite the adventure, with these two lovely lasses:


I went to the big city!

 It was weird... I'm a small town gal and it was strange going to somewhere so big.

Our Journey started with a hour long car journey down the motorway! Though before we got to the motorway we had to stop, for some change, outside a garage.


It was boring... but I got skittles! Taste the rainbow :D

Anyway, we finally arrived on the motorway, all you Americans notice the side of the road we are driving on and the driver's side ;)


We passed a lot of countryside and a few beautiful houses as well 


See? Georgian! Lovely. 

We also had a Green Day sing-a-long!


I may or may not been too over-enuthastic about that...



Anayway! Then we arrived in the big city and went shopping :D 

No pictures here :P


PIZZA


I swear on my love for books that this was the greatest pizza I have ever tasted. 

We went to Pizza Hut for lunch because the queue for Nandos was to long.

I do not regret that decision.

This was the great waiter who took our orders.


The great waiter conversing with Robyn



NACHOS.



I'm addicted to these things. 


I could find anymore pictures of my journey, as Robyn and Natasha got mad at me for taking so many! (I took over 100) so they banned me from using the camera. Though I can say that it was a beautiful day and I enjoyed it immensely. I will go again (hopefully!)
