…then, with the festive season approaching (and not quite here, despite what advertisers and DJs are telling us), the story of a possible model for Ebenezer Scrooge, who died 235 years ago today
…and, finally, the 138th anniversary of a divorce case whose details were censored in the press for being Proper Filth, and which gave us the phrase ‘what the butler saw’
(Worth clicking through if only to see the full-length portrait of the woman in the divorce case. She looks like someone who… knew how to enjoy herself, let’s say)
Yes, that was worth it. Not only for the fact that she's gorgeous though. Also for the fact that she could have slept with twice as many people and her husband would still be the bigger rotter.
I like her even more having now learned that both this painting and the photographs of her held by the National Portrait Gallery show her *after* this whole ordeal, so it didn't make her lose her tiny trace of perma-smirk. Very good.
Yeah this happens when we were doing s lot more riding competitions as a kid our friends horse cloud would untie herself and help herself to the pack up she ate quite a few pastries and pasties!

He was the reason I fitted toddler locks to the kitchen cupboards.
