Youtube recommending me this video after returning home from Bath where I bought so many things, most of them related to Jane Austen makes me feel seen haha glad to know I’m not the only one! Love your haul 🛁

🛁 I really want to go back to bath. I've not been since I was in Primary school, and i'd love to take my husband and daughter to a place that I loved as a child!! I'm the same, Bath is interchangable with me too!! Have a lovely week!!xx

Going to Bath for the first time this year and getting all the inspiration from your videos, Claire. Thank you for your phantastic, lovely, entertaining content. 🛀

I love Colin Firth as Mr Darcy he’s dashingly handsome. 😂.

I totally agree about Jane Austen’s wicked sense of humor. It shows up so much in her letters !

[hayleyc]

I confess to so far not being a huge Jane Austen fan. I’ve read all her novels three or four years ago except Mansfield Park, which I am yet to read. I have just discovered Barbara Pym a modern classic author who is often compared to Jane Austen and whose books I am thoroughly enjoying. As a result I am eager to read Mansfield Park and perhaps revisit Austen’s other works. Barbara Pym might be worth a try for you. The Sanditon tv series is brilliant. Loved this video you made and I have just ordered a copy of The Georgians as it looks really interesting and I managed to find a copy on sale.

🛁 That was a lovely video!!
Enjoyed it so much. My God what would our lives have been like if Jane Austen hadn’t written her wonderful novels! Bleak indeed !!

🛁 Yay new video! Now I want to revisit Bath!

🛀 I loved Bath when I visited a few years ago - it was actually the first post-lockdown trip for my partner and I so also feels like a special place for us. Also I just went and ordered the Jane Austen blend from Sally Lunn's for my friend's birthday next week, thanks for the inspiration. It'll be perfect for her!

This was such a lovely video! 🛀 I've been to Bath a few times and am now counting down until my daughter will get enough out of it to book another trip!

I wish you had met the Outlaw Bookseller, Stephen E Andrews, while in Bath or Baath. I also wish you had stood up and showed off your book themed jacket. 🛀 💐

[melissaholton]

I love this! You are so wonderful, in your excitement for Bath, Jane Austen... Love it and so glad I found your channel! Thanks for all of the book haul info . :)

[katiejlumsden]

I loved Miss Austen, and I think you’d like it. It’s a real favourite of mine. 🛁

[janethocevar]

I love all your videos and really enjoyed this one. I am a fan of Jane austen! I always look forward to seeing your videos. So refreshing! I understand your feelings when you didn't pay to get into the abbey. Lol I always think I am going to jail for something 😂

[MichelePJ]

Really enjoyed seeing everything! I love Sanditon series, especially season 2 and 3. Colin Firth will always be my Mr. Darcy! 😁 Persuasion has always been my favorite Jane Austen novel, so thank you for showing your video of Bath, one day I hope to cross the pond to see it for myself! 🛁📚❤

[rachaelrobinson]

This video was a true delight! But the only complaint I have is that you neglected to link your wonderful cardigan! Could you do so if possible? Thanks ever so much!
