I am of mind to think you are in jest, Victoria Park more carpet than grass!<br /><br />First stone of Royal Crescent glorious City of Bath laid in 1767 and by 1775 a monumental structure of such beauty people would daily promenade its length from end to end. It is true its golden hue doth frame the park. It is said the infamous dandy Beau Brummell often spied strutting peacock fashion back and forth.<br /><br />Oh but such merriment did occur in the year 1830. Would you believe it Princess Victoria came to open the park, and no more than slip of eleven years old was she. Can you believe a mere child should love the Georgian architecture so, the city fathers' felt compelled to honour her and impart her name upon [adjoined to] The Royal Crescent. <br /><br />Oh fiddlesticks, the rumour hereabouts the little madam of mind to abandon Bath, and to take the waters wherever her name more prevelant. Who would have thought the sun to never set upon her name, the world encumbered by Victoria this and Victoria that, peoples constant rminded of England's longest living monarch: Queen Victoria. <br />----<br />Just love history: full stop!<br />And you did a really great job with your blogging visitor!Francine Howarthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02326542867876257042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-7614434807274300442010-08-12T02:28:09.936+10:002010-08-12T02:28:09.936+10:00Lovely to finally meet you Jane, and thank you for...Lovely to finally meet you Jane, and thank you for telling us so much about Bath.Deborah Carr (Debs)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03223653554549707595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-7641754882032923512010-08-11T23:05:04.411+10:002010-08-11T23:05:04.411+10:00Goodness Jane, I never knew you had such a hard li...Goodness Jane, I never knew you had such a hard life.

High praise! Just finished reading yours. Most enjoyable..:)<br /><br />Francine: Wicked woman, of course the Royal Crescent was there. What doltish dame would not include that glorious Victorian pile!! My hee hee now..:)<br /><br />Old Kitty: Scratch! Scratch! This wretched pen. I do so wish something simpler was forthcoming to put words on paper. Perhaps in a future time there will be easier means, which means future writers will have no excuse for paltry outcomes.<br /><br />And my dear, what I have written hardly supports a book club. What an astounding idea. I really must dust off some of my older scribblings and approach my publisher, but, dearie me, is it difficult to get a book published these days! <br /><br />Will it ever be so??Denise Covey https://www.blogger.com/profile/07106490051555233439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-79175839346234674192010-08-11T20:33:18.163+10:002010-08-11T20:33:18.163+10:00Oh dear Ms Austen!
