In which I post the pictures I took at Lyme Regis

Several, several moons ago I took a trip to the U.K. and went to many of the places mentioned in Jane Austen's books and in her life. Of course this included Lyme Regis. In my two or so year absence from this blog, I also obtained a scanner. So now I can post the pictures.

It was really windy during my short visit to Lyme Regis, especially on the Cobb, much like it was during the fateful walk when Louisa Musgrove jumped off it and hurt herself in Persuasion. So I only snapped a couple of quick pics and shoved the camera and my hands back in my pockets. Though I did make sure to walk down the exact set of steps (I'm pretty sure) that Louisa did in the BBC version with Amanda Root and Ciaran Hinds.

When I visited Lyme Regis there was a little tourist center, which found me a room in a nice little bed and breakfast (better than the one I had booked in Portsmouth), with a name having something to do with dolphins and with a grumpy cat in the library, where I found an Agatha Christie I hadn't read. Nowadays, there's a Lyme Regis tourism website where you can view a Cobb webcam and take a virtual tour.
