235th Birthday of Jane Austen

Post by Northern Lass »

I bet ya didn't know that!
Google told me it was!

So Happy Birthday Jane........loved your books

My idea of good company is the company of clever, well-informed people who have a great deal of conversation; that is what I call good company.
Jane Austen
