Twelfth Night in Merry Old England

12/26/2015

The twelve days of Christmastide, as celebrated in Georgian England began with Christmas Day (“First Night”) and continued to Twelfth Night, or January 5th, followed by the Feast of the Epiphany in celebration of the Magi arriving in Bethlehem to worship the new King, the Christ child.

In country homes and estates, decorations went up on Christmas Eve and stayed up until Epiphany, the official end of the Yule season, when the greens would be burned in the fireplace.

Twelfth Night has its origins... Read more.

It’s that time of year when I share my favorite heroes and heroines. In addition to being an author, I have read and reviewed over 850 historical romances and in those novels that I have rated 5-stars there are some wonderful heroes and heroines…noble men who overcome tortured pasts, flaws and the odds against them to love; and heroines who persist against great obstacles to be with the man to whom they would give their heart—strong, intelligent women of character. Every one a worthy hero and heroine.

See my list of favorites, my Christmas gift to you, HERE! This just might be your next year’s reading list...

The Shooting Party in Regency England

12/9/2015

Picture
In England, during the Regency period (1811-1820), when the London Season ended in mid August, the season of house parties in the country began. They could last from a weekend up to several weeks. Included in the activities for the invited nobility and gentry would be shooting of game birds and fox hunting. (Fox hunting, or “riding to hounds” began after the first frost and ended after the last frost.) Shooting parties extended over the fall and winter and shooting was regarded not only as a sport but exercise, an antidote to gout.

If you'd like to see my post on this major event in the social life of the upper classes, see more here. And if you'd like to read a story that takes you through Christmas and show you a shooting party up close, try my story of The Twelfth Night Wager!
