The Journey

Almost bed time for me.

What a DAY!  I have been all over goggle, fought with a picture my granddaughter sent that turned my computer into a nightmare of extremes, ( I think she might have triggered a virus when she uploaded the picture, because something fouled everything up at my end.) fought with an insurance company and researched a new book.

Fortunately, I have lots of online sources and research books galore, so I slowly found the info I needed. As I told my hospice nurse today when she came to visit during this chaos, I want every detail to be correct. I spent hours on transportation in the 1840's in England, and another hour, trying to figure out what the mother of a Viscount would be called if the Viscount married a commoner. According to my sources, she would still be  Dowager Viscountess. Great fun!

And then I had to find a place for them to live. That meant researching English towns of the 1840's.
Good thing I love to do research.

Now, I'm pooped.  Good thing we go to bed early. Tonight I'm ready already and it's not yet 8 pm our time.  Bad.

Tomorrow is another day.  Ready to put my new found info to work.  (grinning)

If I can get DH to figure out how long it would take a mail coach to reach....

Love that research. Then there were the Irish sisters who started as high-class prostitutes and ended up with titles. HA!!
