In a continuation of this lovely warm autumnal sunshine we've been having recently, I returned home from work to find Julie engrossed in her new Thomas Hardy book, The Mayor of Casterbridge. After spending some time researching Julies family, discovering they were 'on the land' in and around Dorchester in the 19th Century, I mentioned to Julie that if she read Hardy's books she'd gain a keen understanding of how her ancestors may have lived at Charminster. Julie is engrossed in the books and it makes me think I should re-read these wonderful works again. Autumnal bliss.
