These are wonderful. So many ways to keep children entertained and learning skills nowadays. Pinning them.

The Gardens of the British Working Class: a review
We are all concerned about cuts, but our allotment has a twenty year lease with some seventeen to go, and the council is committed to allotments. It helps that certain councillors have allotment plots and so have a vested interest in their ...

The Gardens of the British Working Class: a review
If I ever become a millionaire I will dedicate cash to providing land for ordinary people to have allotments. There is a desperate shortage of it in Britain at the moment.

It sounds like an interesting history of gardening in Britain. As an American, I am getting used to what you call "allotments."

Letitia Elizabeth Landon (L.E.L.): Poetic Genius as a Girl
She's certainly got my interest! I think I'm ready to write part two now, but it's late, so I'll leave it tomorrow.

Scandal, romance--I can't wait to see more! She is definitely an intriguing person!

Letitia Elizabeth Landon (L.E.L.): Poetic Genius as a Girl
I really liked Mrs Rowden too! I should have pulled her out and given her an article of her own.
I've been reading L's poems, and biographies, and critiques, and blah blah insertions about what it all meant, all day. I've barely written a ...

Letitia Elizabeth Landon (L.E.L.): Poetic Genius as a Girl
I was almost more interested in Mrs Rowden here. Really kick-ass woman, I think.
Do you have a favorite poem from her?
(Also, I couldn't help but notice a few small details, such as 'genius' and a pseudonym of 'L' >.>)

Yay! Then that means that my work here is well and truly done. And the second part will be coming when I've finished researching it (and getting much side-tracked into interesting detours).

I see :) You certainly work your magic on your research. It entices me to read things outside my radar, which is a great thing.
Finished reading this one. Looking forward to Part II.

The Gardens of the British Working Class: a review
This book is definitely going on my Wish List at Amazon! When I had an allotment we were always worried that the Council was going to take the land away because of the cuts. And when they built the Olympic Park in Stratford they bulldozed an ...

I did that once with an Irish article and it looked so very messy. Besides, I'm not writing it as an academic piece per se, at least not any more than I'm naturally inclined to do after all that training!

Letitia Elizabeth Landon (L.E.L.): Poetic Genius as a Girl
Very interesting. Read half of it. Will be back for the rest. I was thinking . . . Since you give quotes and so much detailed info, why not list the sources too next to the quotes and as bibliography? You do link to the books on Amazon, but I ...
