Just a blog to say...
I am absolutely loving alot of the tv shows at the moment that are heritage orientated..In particular i just watched today the first episode of 'At home with the Georgians'...I especially enjoyed seeing them feature Jane Austens house and Chawton Manor thats just up the road, as these are places i frequent as much as possible whenever im home as i live fairly locally...however i couldn't help feeling dismayed they didn't show more of Jane Austens cottage. They recently renovated parts of the house that have never before been seen by the public, such as the kitchens and got a fantastic new gift shop and education centre. Where would we be without the HLF eh? I felt especially peeved as such ventures as Jane Austens house really rely on all the publicity they can get, being a small business ran organisation who rely so heavily on admissions and charity, they need all the help they can get!
I have an evil plan to stand outside the Jane Austen centre in Bath and divert all the innocent (and somewhat ignorant) tourist and austen-fans to her lovely little cottage and yell 'SHE DIDN'T EVEN LIVE HERE...SHE DIDN'T EVEN LIKE BATH!'.
(not out of spite, it just irritates me how easy it is for them to recieve visitors due to location when better places struggle so)
over.and.out. FAB.
