Every week I enjoy these links (as well as your other posts), and it's time to say "thank you" for making Sunday mornings a treat. I am amazed that you took the time and trouble to produce this weeks links after all the disruption caused by the storm. It's much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteYou do have some of the bestest links! Could I request that you make them open in a new tab? That way I could get through them more easily. Thanks for a great blog!
ReplyDeleteLove the breakfast links!

Shelley,
ReplyDeleteIt must be your browser settings because all of the links open in new tabs for me. If you're using IE, that's probably your problem as that feature doesn't work unless it wants to.
I LOVE the house in Whitechapel but holy crow, what a price tag! The goodbyes were so sad. I noticed how much chinchilla there was then though.
You have the best links!
Many thanks for your kind words - which I'll in turn share with the other writers and historians who so generously share their work by way of blogs, web sites, and Twitter. The internet is an endless marvel of information, isn't it? :)
ReplyDeleteShelley, I'm afraid I don't have control of the opening-tab feature. The links will open in the manner your browser decides. Poke around in your settings - you can probably find the option there, as Nightsmusic suggests.
Hello, I'm a new reader here and am enjoying my first visit. Can you tell us where the lovely painting that accompanies this post is from?
ReplyDeleteThanks.
Oops! Just saw the info at the end of your post. I'm off to research the artist.
