Just found this in my camera roll form 2021 lockdown XD

I know there are people missing but I made myself laugh re-reading it. Maybe I should remake it to be higher quality.

Keeley Hawes - 1997

[akimaetokai]

It's Keeley's birthday on the 10th of February and we would like to continue our little tradition of celebrating that day by donating to those in need.

This time we decided to raise funds for Women’s Aid, a federation working together to provide life-saving services for women and children in England, building a future where domestic abuse is not tolerated.

They also stand in solidarity with women who are experiencing racist, misogynistic, painful and unjust treatment within the justice system, police, government, monarchy or media. These are all matters close to Keeley's heart as she has always championed women in her own industry and beyond.

We decided to do our part this year and would like to encourage you to join us. No matter what you are able to give, any donation counts and helps to contribute to the cause.

Adrian, to Louisa: I feel like you were mad at me yesterday and I don’t know why. So I made a list of everything I have ever done and I’m going to try not to do any of it ever again.

name musings for eug and jack's 2 baby pls!

It'd be my pleasure, anon!

Going off of August's name, I think the Brooksbanks are excellent namers 🥰 I was always bothered by August because everyone assumes it's for Prince Albert and not to shit on anyone's picnic but using someone's random middle name doesn't constitute as "nAmiNg AfTeR" them. BUT after going over their family tree, I like to believe Albert isn't the great-great-great-great-great-grandfather he was named for after all 👀

Anyway, musings under the cut because as always it became way too long:

I've seen Coke getting thrown around as a potential middle name because that's the last name of one of their shared ancestors. I think that's pretty neat but I also sort of wonder if the fact they didn't use it instead of Hawke for August means they wouldn't be fond of using it. Alternatives could be Wenman, Keppel or Sebright which are also names of shared ancestors. A middle name I think would be neat and could work regardless of gender is York as it's both a last name on Jack's side of the family and obviously holds significance on Eugenie's as well.

For a boy, I think George in honour of Jack's dad is a shoo-in as a middle name like Philip was for August. I really like Casper for them. I think it goes really nice with August.

Casper George Coke

Montague "Monty" George York

Albert "Albie" George Sebright

Christopher "Kit" Fergus George

Alexander George Wenman

For a girl, I think Elizabeth in the middle or a variation as a first is a safe bet. Eliza would be pretty cool as it's also a family name on both sides of the family (incidentally the name of a great-great-great-great-great-grandmother on each side). I still really like Iona which was my wildcard for them with August but I don't know 😅

fine morning – A- came and sat with me 20 minutes – ready at 7 10 at which hour F57° - my letter to Lady V.C. yesterday kind chit chat – ‘if, my dearest Vere, I ever have a day of rest, it is Sunday’ – glad of the rain tho’ one 3rd. of my hay is out ‘because it gives me an occasion of chit chat with you’ – think and believe we shall meet again if we live – ‘I shall be at liberty again sometime’ – ‘3 or 4 cheap days will suffice for the traject’ from Achnacary to Shibden – ‘some summer, when you are not too busily employed about the little people you have and those you have not, I shall propose our trying the experiment’ …. Trust me I should be ‘much more in my element with you and yours at my elbow, than I am at present – the truth is, I am in any element but my own, and I shall get out of it as soon as I can – yet I have no reason to doubt being pecuniarly repaid, or to fear that I shall not be satisfied hereafter with the feeling of having overcome the opposition and imposition it was deemed beyond my power to withstand – Our friend Gibbon somewhere observes, l’Esprit s’excite par les difficultés, and you know me well enough to understand that this observation se vérifie un peu chez une personne comme moi – Our motives ought often to be better than they are – but we are what we are – and the spur of irritation has often been the most effectual and useful good – I now hope that I can get off for the winter; and that those of my concerns which will from that time take two years more for their completion, may be left safely enough without much of my own personal looking-after, in the interim – But who can count upon the morrow? come what may, it can do no harm to send me a little catalogue of your books, with notes of what you would like to have – you need be in no fear of duplicates, nor of anything much out of the way of your wishes – so long as I know where to find you, and that I am not to think of franks, you shall be well informed of what I am doing, and fancy myself going to do – with regard, and in regard to you, you will find me the same today and tomorrow – Here and everywhere

SH:7/ML/E/20/0094

occupied or at leisure, I shall think of you often, and always affectionately’ – then about the Cornish cook-house-keeper leaving Lady V.C – ‘we have already a very trustworthy tolerable cook’ and my little friend tells me ‘it would hardly be wise to change unless for someone who was deemed excellent’ .:. we remain as we are – then wrote (but without a fresh date) the last 1/3 of p. 3 and the 2 ends – glad Lady V.C. is going to dear Lady Stuart ‘Is anything particular going to happen between this and October?.... I shall order the ‘philosophy of Health’ Mr. Croker! Henry! (vide Quarterly review no.115 for February last – I had praised the mention of Lady Louisa Stuart in the article on the new edition of Lady M. Wortley Montague’s works – V- thinks the review ‘owned her an amende for the impertinencies of Mr. Croker in the 1st notice of the new edition of Lady MW.’) Had I read the article more leisurely I should have guessed that the praise would not balance the impertinences alias truths?   Hope V- will see the Highcliffe party – long to hear her report of them – ‘I do hope to be in Paris, tho’ perhaps merely en passant, before the end of November; but I shall hardly name it till nearer the time – I feel at this moment as if I could not possibly bring myself to spend next winter here – I am heartily sick of a longer abiding in my present position, without some break – we are all bustle within and without – country and borough – it is quite terrible – a company of police and military sent to Huddersfield to enforce the poor-law – two thirds of population out of work vow vengeance against it – Mr. Cameron was paid for his wool only just in time – the quiet days of old have ‘parted never to return’ – Ever very affectionately yours AL-‘ – ‘tis now 8 ½ - breakfast – A- going into Stainland has written to her sister what I wrote for her last night – A- to take en passant her letter to her sister to the post and mine to ‘the Lady Vere Cameron Brafield house, Oulney, Bucks’ –spelt Oulney by the O- post office tho’ Olny by V- breakfast at 8 40 to 9 35 – then it and out – A- off to Stainland at 10 ½ - to James Schofields to say if he did not pay up his arrears, he would have a notice to quit – she called at Taylors’ and Charles Laws’ – but somehow lost her way – went to Lindley and had to retrace her steps, and did not get home till 6 ¾ - having been caught in 2 or 3 showers and got  rather wet but did not seem much tired – about 11 am came Mr. James Mallinson with 5 country newspapers from the office of Messrs. P- and A- containing the advertisement of the Northgate hotel Manchester Guardian of Saturday 15 July – Liverpool mercury of Friday 14, Leeds ditto of Saturday 15, Yorkshire Gazette and H-x express both of Saturday 15th instant – Mr. JM. had been at Mr. Parker’s about redeeming the Landtax of my Godley land, and being coming here on that account brought the newspapers – ordered the redemption of land tax of Godley land 1/3 of the whole (rated at 1.16.6/3= 12s.2d. per annum

I could sit here and lie and pretend to say that I share no feelings for you. But I would be lying to myself. And most importantly, I would be lying to you. Don’t hide your feelings anymore, Kissers! Go kiss your beloved person and here is the place. Take this ticket or you will have the ‘Kissers Disease’.

Louisa Cavendish

Louisa Frederica Augusta Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire, formerly Louisa Montagu, Duchess of Manchester, born 15th June 1832, died 15th July 1911. She is German but born in Britain. She was an aristocrat, sometimes referred to as the "Double Duchess".

 In 1852, Louise Alten would become Viscountess Mandeville after meeting William Drogo Montagu, heir to the Duke of Manchester at the opera in Nice. In the palace chapel at Hanover, and subsequently at the British embassy, they married. Upon his father's death on 8 August 1855, William became the 7th Duke of Manchester and his Duchess Louisa. Together they had two sons and three daughters and were married till William’s death in 1890.

Conservative party, Duchess Louise was their preferred candidate for the role of Mistress of the Robes to Queen Victoria, which she performed from 24 February 1858 – 11 June 1859. The duration was shortened by the fall of the Tory government at which point the preferred liberal candidate, the Duchess of Sutherland took the role.

Louise was also a fixture at the many house parties attended by the Prince of Wales and his wife Princess Alexandra. Louise was gifted a Faberge box painting by Queen Alexandra in 1908.

Louise was unhappy in her marriage to the Duke of Manchester, he was a serious spender endangering the family fortunes, she performed her duties caring for their homes and raising their children with devotion.

“In my experience, grief is rarely linear,” Louisa says, and her voice rumbles against my chest. God I’m so thin, she can probably feel my ribs. It’s repulsive. “Nor is it guaranteed to get easier with time.”

I let out a hollow laugh. “Oh God, doesn’t it?”

“No,” she replies. “It just gets different.”
