Orchard in blossom Written by MarianneR (5/6/2008 2:54 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Ch.42. Donwell & Abbey Mill Farm – an English Idyll., penned by Rachel G

In my translation of Emma there is a footnote to this passage which says that Jane Austen´s brother is supposed to have told her that blooming orchards and ripe strawberries aren´t likely to be seen at the same time in South-England. But obviously that didn´t impress our beloved author. Anyway - the view must have been marvellous...
