This time of year is your last chance to enjoy a trip to the British sea-side (don't forget a jumper or two!), for the last hunting parties of the season, unless you are in the mood for Partridges in which case the season has only just begun! Also, the saints days for the Blessed Virgin Mary (8th), St. Matthew (21st), St. Michael (29th), so if you've got a religious character, you may be interested to mark these days. Any working class characters amongst you however will be glad to know that the holiday of the Blessed Virgin Mary also involves three days of celebration (no work!) and also the Fair at Blackfriars Yard would take place on these days- with food, entertainment, socialising and drama, both during the day and into the night. An all-comm post will be announced so characters both rich and poor can enjoy this event.
For those who are interested, a FREE online version of the Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy which is set during September 1792, can be found HERE, and is well-worth reading!
