Mansfield Park

I find it surprising that I only have one quote from Jane Austen in my notebooks. I remember reading this sentence for the first time. How it challenged me and has had an impact on how I am to others.

Fanny has just arrived at her cousins...
'Nobody meant to be unkind, but nobody put themselves out of their way to secure her comfort.' Jane Austen

This springs to my mind, probably selfishly, as we move to a new area and I into a new job. Due to the move and BT not connecting our landline and therefore no internet until the 15th September....) there will be a blogging break (writing posts and leaving comments). And due to my new job I won't be able to find those cheeky half hour blogging moments during the working day either. So.....

There will be almost no blogging activity until the 15th September.

  2. Oh no! Come back soon - I need your quotes. I slipped the 'Love at First Sight' poem you found into my Hub's anniversary card and he totally got its meaning for us! Hope it all goes well and that you soon settle in to all areas of your new life.

  3. We will miss you. Good luck with your new job, how exciting! So many changes, new home, new job, hope you are getting used to both and learning to love them!
    Oh and I love that quote, it so perfectly describes that moment when no one is being exactly mean to you but you still don't really feel welcome. I'm sad to say it has happened to me more than once, and to others I am sure.
