It was a huge pleasure to show members of my local Bath/Wiltshire Romantic Novelists’ Association Chapter around Ashdown House on Saturday. Twelve members of the group travelled
from Bristol and beyond for a special guided tour with tea and cakes afterwards. Fortunately we had a beautiful sunny day for the visit which meant that the views from Ashdown’s newly-restored roof platform were stunning. I think everyone enjoyed the visit and it was super to have so many enthusiastic authors to show around! Thank you to Liz Fielding for the photo and to Rachel Brimble for getting us all organised for the visit!
One of our group, Jean Burnett, is signing copies of her new book Who Needs Mr Darcy at Topping and Co’s bookshop in Bath, 7.45pm on October 20th. If you are in the vicinity do drop in! And if you would like to visit Ashdown House we are open on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons until the end of October.




I really do want to visit – one day soon I hope! I have to page homage to Rupert if nothing else
Well indeed, Alison! Rupert and Dobson together in one place!
Doh, just noticed my typo, but the sentiment remains! I blame Rupert, he’s obviously made me go all unnecessary again…
