Jane Austen's House

Today I went to Jane Austen's House Museum in Chawton, and I should mention that this is the third time I've vistited - that alone should say something! It's a nice little cottage in a picturesque village.

After the documentary I went to bed and literally stayed up half the night thinking about this whale and the other
