A Great and Dirty City: Dickens and the London Fog

Wrote a blogpost after visiting the Charles Dickens Museum at Doughty Street, London , looking at the role of the London fog in Dickens's work.
The impact of the fog worsened after Dickens's death, leading up to the great fog of December 1952 with thousands of casualties and disruption over a five day period. bleakchesneywold.blogspot.com/

I was in tears doing this wks . CW alcohol abuse. Janie sounds absolutely desperate + pours out her heart to Fred who's a 100 miles away in . Fred later speculates that the reason Emma is being so cruel to Janie is because she is 'a little envious'. I'd go so far to say she's absolutely green w envy. It seems so very unfair.

Hello loves, latest My Love Letter Time Machine podcast episode out now. CW - Victorian alcohol abuse. Janie’s delight at at the family seaside day out is tempered by Emma’s increasingly unkind behaviour. This week Janie takes us to Cleepthorpes, then as now, probably the nearest bit of sandcastle sand to Sheffield. Absolutely love putting this episode together. Link: mylovelettertimemachine.buzzsp (you should prob unfollow me if you don't want me bleating on about the pod).

Anything we can do, performer Madame Yucca could do “genteel in the costume of the parlor” - not backwards, but undoubtedly in heels (and definitely in a serious corset!) (c. 1898)

Such a sad story found on a Victorian memorial in a village in . 9 children lost from one family over 42 days. Any ideas about the cause? Where should I start investigating?
