The basic framework of my website on Draycot House and the Draycot Estate, near Chippenham, Wiltshire, is up. It will be populated over the next few weeks. I have been using Wordpress for 3 weeks, so please be gentle, if you comment.

@Number10cat RIP Nigel - not that one . . .

@MichaelBerkele2 @BBCRadio3 Nice touch, to use the Philip Jones version of your theme tune.

@LemonLymancom Did he dance Giselle?

@DickensMuseum @DickensFire Found Dickens minus his trousers - an embarrassing situation for a particularly shy man. Well might he have exclaimed ' "oh, ye gods and little fishes - what's a man without his breeches'. Circa 1865. From Recollections of a soldier diplomat - Col F.A. Wellesley.

@D_Profundis Ah - just seen Gerry's post. Not very close at all . . .

@D_Profundis You'll be watching that goal on replay for quite some time, I think

@RestorationHat @Warwalks @SarahBWatkins @17thCenturyLady @HistoryRage @RoyalStuartSoc Thomas Carlyle wrote the article, as far as I know Dickens just edited Household Words, and wrote a brief introduction.

@Warwalks @SarahBWatkins @17thCenturyLady @HistoryRage @RoyalStuartSoc @RestorationHat . . .and all recent medical reviewers give plausible natural causes

@D_Profundis I might have a flutter in Orient and fancy their chances.

@NicolaCornick Tylney Hall is in the 'Other Estates' part of my website - very incomplete still. I have transcripts of a few letters from Harris Bigg Wither's father (of no importance), but Steventon was too far away for any letters from the Austens to Sir James Tylney Long.

@Anyaaaaaaaa8 They'd also like her alabaster skin on the cell block . . . .

@LemonLymancom Now it's just a trip home.

@LemonLymancom Come to think of it - I don't get it - did CJ and Danny also get a divorce?
