Diary Of A Provincial Lady, Chapter 18

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, Barbara Blenkinsop's engagement, which was very definitely off, becomes very definitely on again. The entire village is involved.

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.

You have no idea how much I appreciate your story telling. Your soothing voice puts me to sleep every time. Thank you

Oh, the Life and times… hilariously wrought 🤭 thank you, Mandy!✨🙏🏼✨

Such fun to hear how quickly the village gossip gets around. And chuckled at our narrator’s reference to her “ homicidal impulse” regarding Lady B. Thanks Mandy 🙏🏻

“Middle Brow” stuck with me. A phrase that makes perfect sense and yet I never heard spoke before 😊I wonder if my mother or grandmothers ever read this series. 🤔 Thanks Mandy for another fun chapter!
