Diary Of A Provincial Lady, Chapter 14

Diary of a Provincial Lady, published nearly a hundred years ago by E M Delafield, is a direct ancestor of Bridget Jones' Diary. In tonight's episode, our narrator plans a trip to London, in part to search for a new house parlour maid. She also sends a parcel of her old clothes (including one or two of Robert's) off for sale. She isn't sure whether to tell Robert about it now, or wait until he notices that something is missing.

This gentle story of the daily ups and downs of domestic life has been compared with George Grossmith's Diary of a Nobody, also available narrated by me in Free Tracks.

I don’t know about the husband, Robert…he seems a bore while our heroine is taking on all the unimportant yet important things in their lives with wit and grace. Thanks Mandy

It's only 12 minutes and I've listened 5 times! I cannot make it to the ending! Your voice is too soothing! I'm going to listen to it this morning, so I can hear the ending! Thank you Mandy!

Haha, is it easier to ask afterwards for forgiveness than to ask first for permission? We shall see lol. Thanks Mandy! 🙏 ❤️
