literary vacation update #3
I’ve finally arrived at a camping site with unlimited free wifi, so now I can update you all without any hurry.
I left you all just before I went to see Ice Age 3 in a cinema in Dorchester. Loved the movie, but I’m a total nut (notice the pun…?) when it comes to animation. Although not as good as the first Ice Age (and the second for that matter) I had a lovely time.
The next day I headed for Monkey World again. Didn’t see the complete park the first time and I had to say a proper goodbye to Sally (didn’t feel satisfied with the first goodbye).
It maybe sounds corny, but that’s just the way I am, deal with…I have 
.
After my departure from the first camping site, I headed to Wilton House. One of the houses used in the 2005 film Pride and Prejudice. Some of the rooms were used as rooms in Mr. Darcy’s estate Pemberley. And I can totally agree with that…the rooms were lovely. They even had some original Rembrandt’s hanging on the wall.
Still being in total aw, I drove to the place where my home would be set up next, oblivious of my surroundings. It was only in the corner of my eyes, that I saw something that resembled Stonehenge. And what do you know…it was Stonehenge. Check…seen it, just in time to make some pictures.
literary vacation update #2
Quick update:
Well, the days fly when you are having fun, and I do have fun. Since the last update I have seen Bath, the place with the Jane Austen Center and the houses she lived in. Salisbury (Jane Austen Museum and also used to be home to her) and the Winchester cathedral (Austen’s last resting place) have yet to be seen.
Yesterday I went to a Swanary and subtropical garden in Abbotsburry and today I spent in Dorchester.
(Sorry for letting you tilt your head, but a little exercise hurt nobody.)
And while Hardy was watching over ‘his’ Casterbridge, I went to the old Crown Court and the military museum and am about to check out Ice Age 3 in the local cinema.
Bye for now.
literary vacation update #1
Finally found a wifi spot that is not secured so I can update some information.
Some change in plans have been happening and the vacation will probably be less literary than I thought at the beginning. The little bookshop town Hay-on-Wye will not be visited by me this time around, but Bath is still one plan I have not meddled with yet. Furthermore, I will probably visit two or three houses and gardens were the Hollywood people shot the film Pride and prejudice.
literary vacation preview
Hooray….my vacation is a few days away and not a moment too soon.
As of Sunday I will be making the British roads and camping sites unsafe with my presence.
First order of (monkey) business: doing my adoptive parent thing and visit Sally. I’m her parent now for four years, but I’ve never seen her in real life. Finally it’s happening!
were has she gone
I know people, I know…
I haven’t been posting lately and I’m hanging my head in shame, but sometimes reality takes over, things have to be taken care of and time isn’t on your side.
Well, time hasn’t been on my side for a while now and reading became a luxury where I can only dream of.
The worst is over though and you will soon see my reviews popping up again.
Thanks for your patience.

sterrenmeisje has grown up…
Hi,
Maybe you already noticed, but I have a new domain for all my book reviews: the other book review. I thought it was time to leave sterrenmeisje behind for my reviews, they deserve a place of their own, with a name that already explained what is happening on my site, without a big questionmark as to what sterrenmeisje means.
So if you happened to have my reviews site bookmarked, please change it in your favorites.
heaven…here i am
One of my dreams is working in or owning a book store. What pleasure it would be to work between books, to see thousands on shelves, to see them all new and I would be the first one to take a peak.
Well, my dream came true last week. As of last Tuesday I work at The American Book Center. It is a book shop here in The Netherlands, that only sells British and American books (and magazines). I’m just ecstatic!
