To Cassandra, from Steventon, "I understand that there are some Grapes left, but I beleive not many;-they must be gathered as soon as possible, or this Rain will entirely rot them." - Jane Austen, Saturday 27-Sunday 28 October 1798
It must have been raining pretty hard. She mentions the rain a couple of times in this letter.
This is a link to a walking tour in Jane Austen Country, one in July and one in October. If nothing else click on it just to see the photo gallery and the walk itinerary. There are some beautiful pictures of the area. This would be such fun.
Just look at this picture of Chawton Great House. It was certainly not raining that day. It is such a beautiful estate.
There is not much else to say now that we have discussed the weather ;)
I hope you had a good day today!
Terrie
