How are you celebrating?

Happy 200th Birthday, Pride and Prejudice!

We started the celebrations this week with our Sunday Dinner.  The menu?  A combination British high tea and cream tea delectables.

Then, some of us began another viewing of the definitive BBC/A&E "Pride and Prejudice."  We're only a third of the way through.  It is long, but that makes it a good way to stretch out our festivities.

Another fun activity? Here you can find a brilliant audio reading of Mr. Bennet's reading a letter he wrote to Lizzie.  He's writing in modern times, with his Regency-era sensibilities.  It's a good laugh.  (Hat tip: The Austen Only website.)

That's good to get us started!
