Note No. 55. Willy is Going Crazy

11th September 1820

 

Oh, my dear diary! You will not believe what my husband has done this morning! He came into my chamber dressed as a knight! I have no idea where he found that armour, but he looked so cute! Ah! Such a perfect man who always does all he can to impress me! His ideas amaze me every single time!

That is not all! He took me for a dinner dressed like armour-bearer! I do not know where he found those tights but ok! Ha, you are the best in this!

I am also determined to start my Italian lessons. My dear friend Canaletto does not only decide to teach children painting but he also opens a little language private class. I mean he will come to our apartment each Wednesday and Friday. I cannot wait! Knowing languages is always useful in life! That is what my dear husband always tells me…

Did I ever described where me, William and our two children live in Rome? This is such a lovely building with 3 floors. It is ours now so I guess we will come back here one day again. What can I say more? This building is quite new, on the ground floor there is a cantor and beautiful wooden staircase, on the first-floor guestrooms, drawing room; our private chambers on the last floor. Furniture all chosen by me.

Ok… Time to go back to England and Scotland. Palace in Blenheim. A really beautiful place indeed. Looks so rich but it did not belong to kings or clergy. But bad architectural taste of the garden. Also, too big and sad. Too fake. Well... I have also been to Portsmouth, Salisbury, Stourhead… The last one is property that belong to Mr. Hoare. His place is sad but beautiful. Whole house covered in famous paintings. What more did I find in there? Temple, grotto, promenade over rocks. Pretty neighbourhood, ah pretty. Classic mash up of culture and nature.

We live now in the middle of industrial revolution so at every possible mile of my trip I saw signs of it. I have visited manufacture of buttons (owned by Mr. Boulton), manufactures of rings, whips (fascinating machines), fabric of guns. Me and my husband also went to a coal mine (I thought that leaving children with Catherine was a better idea). Coal is pulled out in such iron baskets. Wheel and line. There are also iron roads that help to transport limestone. After that we went to a factory of tar. I say all I remember. Tar is the final product of few operations. Oil which is a side effect is used to a normal paint.

I will continue writing tomorrow… Ahh, Willy! He just ran in screaming! I do not know what happened but I got to find out!

Wait… Where did you get this fancy funny red hat…?

Note No. 56 - Last Word About England And Scotland

12 th  September 1820   Dear diary, William is going crazy but you probably know it well. Why was he screaming yesterday? That is a really good question. I honestly did not know... Actually, nothing happened... I mean... It was impossible to find out! When I went to Catherine, she and Mary (my wise women!) told me what happened - William Anthony.... Ah! Let me tell you tomorrow!  Today I feel a little bit sour when I remind myself that tour... Different place every day... And those sad people and sad weather... They all were bored and they did not even know about it... It made me sick at the end... I spent two days nothing but laying in bed. My head was all the time aching and William said that I looked thin.   London. That is where I was born. That is what my parents knew before they left me... They could stay and live a little bit longer... Now I have new family and I am glad but that place made me feel so melancholically. That world is gone forever. Also, jus...
