Jane Austen Centre

Why hello there Jane Austen Centre!

All these outfits on display are reproductions, but still a lot of fun to look at.

Aaaw that purse with a tassle!

And the embroidered buttons! Love.

The cravat! I feel they should make a comeback.

Aaaah kids costumes ;_;

My love for you is breaking my heart.

Ah the regimental man

Even Mrs. Bennet cannot resist.

The outfit is a replica of a 1805 uniform.

Tea!

I reeeeeally want a tea caddy like that.

Also I like this style of sleeve.

Miss Austen being hilarious after being “requested” to dedicate her book to the Prince Regent.

E modelling how this is a long narrow hall really. Also that gramma had to stay in the gift shop because she didn’t really care (blasphemy!) and didn’t want to bother with the stairs.

This dress had an interesting story, in that it was discovered all cut out, but was assembled in the 2000s.

Shelf of accoutrements.

They had a little dress up section, but as I have my own gowns, I didn’t bother. E indulged though :D

A letter penned by Ms. Austen! So pretty!

Would not mind owning that writing desk, not at all.

Another reproduction.

I’m honestly not sure what those chopstick like things are.

Persuasion costume!

I love this adaptation, SO MUCH.

All this detail you don’t even notice in the movie!

Also, I like her hat.

That was the last room at the centre, so then we returned to the gift shop. We had planned on having tea there, since they have a tea room, but they have no elevator and it was on the top floor so no go.

So, at the gift shop, they have these tote bags that say “I ♥ Darcy” on them, and other things with that phrase.

My gramma “Who’s Darcy and why is he a big deal?”

Yeeeeeah.

Anyway, we had delicious lunch at a place that was on the way back to the hotel.
Then I took my gramma back to the hotel, while E went to the Roman Baths, which I’d been to before and actually remember fairly well (though if I end up in Bath again, I’ll probably give them another go).

Another blue door! I like the blue.
