A feast of reading today for anyone interested in old diaries, journals, or
manuscripts - the so far unpublished papers of the Charles Darwin archive
have gone on line today, to be read completely free - another great gift to
the world via the Internet.
His personal journals are here (including a list of "do I marry? Vs "do I not
marry? - On the pro side, he concludes that it is better to marry than to get
a dog!), but the manuscript that I will be browsing first is his wife, Emma Darwin's
Recipe Book (ms number DAR 214 if the links play up)
You can reach the whole collection here - but beware - vast quantities of
time may be consumed once you start to browse!
I suppose it depends on the dog. LOL

Depends on the dog? Depends on the spouse, too!
Oh... really wanted to say thanks for that Watch the Birdie post. That is so lovely. Makes me want to shop in Homebase!
