November rain.

'Home, sweet home.'

I'm writing this post, as I promised, from my comfy sofa in my house of Deal. These last months I’ve been re establishing myself at home again after being away for more than a year. I have also retaken my life and friendship with my girl friends here in Deal and Canterbury, where I usually travel once a week to enjoy the life in there. Meetings, dances, family life and musing on the sea-shore have always been my passions and now that I am here I can enjoy them again as much as I did before moving to London.

I’m still in touch with Mr. Cave and Mr. Johnson, and I have to thank Mr. Cave’s family and also Mr. Birch and Mr. Johnson for taking care of me while I was in the big city.

Anyway, I guess this is not a farewell, but it’s true that I want to concentrate more on my books and my  life here in the countryside so I may not post so often. Apologies for that.

Until we read each other again, enjoy life and love everyone, even if they don’t love you. It’s the best way you can live.For what concerns me, I thinks it's time to go back to my books and my eternal walks.

Take care, and thanks for reading. It’s been a pleasure!

Elizabeth.

Thinking out loud.

Another summer has come and again changes had been done.

I know it is a long time without posting and I'm sorry for that but trust me, I've been very very VERY busy.

While I’m writing this I’m still in London, but in the next few days I will move back to Deal, and as it is said: ‘There is nothing like home.’ Living in London has been a great experience, but as you know, everything has a dark side, and also St. John’s Gate does. It is not that I don’t want to publish anymore, but some recent events have convinced me to go back home. It is a bit sad this thing of leaving Mr. Cave and Mr. Johnson but I can’t help it. I will continue publishing in the Gentleman’s Magazine once a while, but not as usual as I did until this very moment. I think my time here has ended and the thing is that I haven’t reached my goals of succeeding as I wanted to here in London.

Well, let’s keep you updated: my Algarotti’s translation has been published this May under the name of Sir Isaac Newton’s Philosophy Explain’d for the Use of Ladies, in Six Dialogues on Light and Colours. As usual, opinions are always welcome.

I also have to tell you that before going back to Deal I’ve made a trip to Oxford, which I did not enjoy very much because I did not have a second alone to spend in my thoughts, but anyway it was nice knowing the city.

Now I have to finish packing all my things and in the next few days I will say goodbye to all my friends here and return home.

Next time I’ll write here I’ll do it from my comfy sofa!

Take care,

Elizabeth.
