Oops, I think I'm the one who is confused. Yes. Tea on Thursday the 18th at 2 AND 3 pm. I'm sorry, there are big holes in my brain and lots of little facts fall right out.

Always so much to do and so little time! I'm sorry there's a conflict with your writing class for the Thursday tea. But that's actually at 3pm (with perhaps a pre-tea at 2) so if you're done by 3-ish, Thursday the 25th, do join us!
The tea is a one-off event, but the tavern will be open every Saturday 3-5:30, so I do hope Mdm D'Arblay will make an appearance. I would be delighted to meet Fanny's older self and fascinated to see how she makes her transition from one era to the other.

Thanks Leena! I hope you can hop across the seas and the years and spend some time in Regency. I do love our Enlightenment adventures but the Regency skirts are so much more practical than baroque.

Well then, it looks like I'll just have to put the teapot on a little early! 3 is late for a lot of people. See you at 2 then maybe?

Oops, I said that time wrong. The tea party is at 3pm on Thursday 18 September. I'll make an Event for that.

Dear Royal Courts friends,
We're back! Regency Somerset got very quiet while its admins were busy with... well, you know. That other place. The place with the tired typists. But Cara Cali and I are ready to breathe a little life back into Port Austen and the Royal Crescent, so please join us.
It all starts Saturday 6 September with the reopening of Nelson's Blood Tavern, on the waterfront, next to the Sanditon shops: http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fmaps.secondlife.com%2Fsecondlife%2FAntiquity%2520Argyle%2F95%2F87%2F26&h=eAQGB4c8A
Your tavernkeep Merry Chase pours a taste, just to make sure the beer is still fresh, before we reopen Nelson's Blood this Saturday.
Make it a habit. The 'sBlood will be open to entertain the bloodthirsty, those thirsting for Regency romance, or the just plain thirsty, with drinking, dancing, and telling tall tales, every Saturday from 3:30 to 5pm SLT
Antiquity's Regency Somerset offers lovely walks and public spaces, so please explore any time, inside and out (just respect the private residences). Make yourself at home in the tavern, the inn, a variety of shops, the orangerie, martello tower, docks, library and gardens.
The year is 1814 and the RP is light. To help you get started, if you're new to the era, there's a freebie gown in the library and another at the Port Austen outlet of Chez Giroux.
We hope you'll come for the occasional special event too. For example... Cara and I will host a tea in the newly-redecorated orangerie, on Thursday 18 September. We'll put on an early tea at 2pm SLT, and a new pot at 3pm. The tea party is to celebrate the new life in Somerset ... and a couple of other things we'll tell you about when you get there.
My tarot salon in Rocca Sorrentina will remain active, as will I remain involved in Rocca's always-fascinating society and events. But I hope some of my friends from there and elsewhere around the grid will come enjoy the Regency with me.
Sincerely,
Merry Chase

Buckingham Palace in Antiquity will be Regency Era, Jacon says, so I hope we will see the older Fanny there, as well as in Regency Somerset.

History
Fascinating!
Though it seems strange that people were so reluctant to give up the deadly green, here we are today, still denying the plausibility of danger from many known environmental toxins. I'm afraid human nature hasn't changed much!
