Found a gorgeous research site for all things related to the English Civil War. So, for me, bliss.

Even got to follow some links to maps of both England and Netherlands, in period, on the same scale, huzzah. Didn't get as much writing time as I wanted today, but it's still some, and that makes for one happy Anna. So happy that I share with you a quick course in seventeenth century manners.

Lovely to find, and makes one want to print out copies to hand out to certain people in restaurants even these days. Or maybe that's just me.

Actually went back and fixed one of my "go back and fix this" scenes, and I think it worked out well. So maybe a good writing day after all.
