Hello ( and yea her name happens to be Georgiana like mine)Anywho this is the lifestyle of my ancestor Geogiana this will include letters (she kept all of her letters in a cute little room in the house) and first hand accounts of evenings she spent with people she often wrote full descriptions of each person room and items style. I was amazed by these stories when I was reading them absolutely astonished at how each page is still preserve fortunately my best friend (hi grant) who specialises in book preserving help fix some letters and pages including my ancestors clothes catalogue for her wardrobe(ps amazing she had everything catagorised from ribbons to fans she had it all)anyway let's get on with it Im going to start in the second album (first is her childhood but can't be bothered with it now... I will read it some point or another) anywho onto itA letter to her mother: Also I will insert coments like (( whatever i feel like saying ))On the back of the letter wasColette Regina G. Lady Grace(need to look into my roots bit more to find the titles we had once)June 5th 1774Dearest MamaHow are you? I am very well. We are on our way over on boat tomorrow afternoon we are leaving the house now just finishing closing the doors and windows till we return in autumn. We are bringing over the chandeliers and your two dogs Wilbert and George such terrible names why in gods name are they called that mama? Anyway onto things what do you mean my not excited of course I am it's a delight to see the Duke of Devonshire marry. But why must you annoy me about all these things I am seventeen and you think I will get married when I meet a suitable man I don't want him to beat me like what Josies husband did. ((ps josie is her older sister family of 16)) I am a young girl I will marry when the time is right do not pester me again mama you never married till you were 20. Anyway.... Who is he marrying? Is it the Spencers Daughter Georgiana you said it before I believe? She is a lovely girl but will be marrying into a boredom nobody can fix if only dogs could talk. Dont even bother to talk to me about that man he's as dry as a dead flower nothing I wonder will he ever wake up from his sleep. It's a dreadful shame but who knows maybe he'll see some sense and become a delight...? How is it staying in althorp house I suppose they have treated you well as the time passes I get more lonesome for your love and kindness like wise to papa how is he? I heard from Henri he left two days ago for France again he's not coming over to you at all shame he won't oh well you can't change his mind now. He's wife Margaret is having a child I think you heard already I hope he has anyway. And Regina isn't going to England till next week so it's just me the chandeliers and our little doggies. I will see you in England In a few days.With love yoursGeorgiana Christine L.

Ooh, such an interesting letter on a very common topic (especially when you are 17; my character Sophie is 17 as well hihi)I'd love to hear more of your great great great great <...> Erm, ancestor. :)P.S. Oh, you have such a long but beautiful name! Also, you made me interested in finding out about my ancestors (from father's side I have Indian roots but I am Vietnamese by blood :P)
