"But she flies into a fit of phrenzy, upbraids me as if I was the most undutiful wretch in existence, rakes up the ashes of my father, abuses him, says I shall be a true Byrrone, which is the worst epiphet she can invent. Am I call to this woman mother?" ~ Lord Byron In the hagiography which often passes for the writing of Byron’s life, Catherine Gordon Byron is somewhat of a 'Marmite' figure - for you will either love her OR you'll hate her! However, my hatred of 'Marmite' is equal to the fondness that I have for the story of this most ‘Amiable Mamma' who died #OnThisDay in 1811... #ByronBlogging #LordByron #RegencyRecondite #BloggingByron

"I am sure my Bones would not rest in an English grave – or my Clay mix with the earth of that Country: – I believe the thought would drive me mad on my death-bed could I suppose that any of my friends would be base enough to convey my carcase back to your soil – I would not even feed your worms – if I could help it." ~ Lord Byron (1818) Fortunately for us - Lord B was 'conveyed' back and on this day July 16 in 1824 was buried in the Byron vault in the Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene in Hucknall, Nottinghamshire. Now, whether his bones are 'at rest' or not is open to speculation... ;) #ByronBlogging #LordByron #RegencyRecondite #BloggingByron

#ThrowbackThursday Cooking is definitely NOT my forte and I’d rather spend my money on books and chocolate rather than any kind of kitchen gadget! However, even I had to design and create some sort of authentic Regency-style kitchen in the basement of Piccadilly Terrace! NOT that Lord B would have cared less as he preferred a diet of ‘hard biscuits and soda water’... #PiccadillyGhost #BloggingByron #RegencyRecondite #LordByron #HomeWithByron

As much as I love Lord Byron, I am also a fan of his much maligned spouse! She was buried on this day in 1860 and one glorious October afternoon, the @graveyardsquirrel paid a visit to Kensal Green Cemetery to her elegant grave which can be found in the shadow of the Chapel. #ByronBlogging #LordByron #RegencyRecondite #LadyByron #BloggingByron

#OnThisDay in 1792, Anne Isabella Milbanke was born at Elemore Hall County Durham, the only child of Sir Ralph and the former Judith Wentworth. In 1815 at her childhood home Seaham Hall, history would take her on a different path upon her marriage to the romantic poet Lord Byron. #ByronBlogging #LordByron #RegencyRecondite #LadyByron #BloggingByron

#ThursdayThoughts Whatever your thoughts on Lord B’s ‘Princess of Parallelograms’ - what IS fascinating is that we have a photographic image of the woman who actually KNEW him! #ByronBlogging #LordByron #RegencyRecondite #LadyByron #BloggingByron

#OnThisDay in 1860 and with her beloved granddaughter and namesake Anne Isabella Noel King by her side, Lady Byron died from the effects of a serious chest infection. She survived her estranged spouse, the celebrated Lord B by 36 years and their only daughter Augusta Ada Lovelace by some 8 years. #ByronBlogging #LordByron #RegencyRecondite #LadyByron #BloggingByron

"For life is but a vision - what I see..' ~ A Fragment (1816) #FlashbackFriday to the day on a visit to Hucknall Notts and when we left this Daffodil tribute to the fabulous Lord B who died #OnThisDay in 1824 in Missolonghi, Greece at the age of 36. #MementoMori #LordByron #BloggingByron

"But I have lived, and have not lived in vain" #LordByron It's strange to think that the man who died #OnThisDay in 1824 and who I have spent SO much of my time reading about and admiring his poetry WAS/IS right there under my feet! #MementoMori #BloggingByron

"What is this Death? - a quiet of the heart? The whole of that of which we are a part? For life is but a vision - what I see Of all which lives alone is life to me, And being so - the absent are the dead, Who haunts us from tranquillity, and spread, A dreary shroud around us, and invest With sad remembrances our hours of rest. A Fragment (July 1816) On this day in 1824 and during a violent thunderstorm in 1824, Lord B died from a fever at Missolonghi in Greece and 195 years later - he can still lay claim to the hearts of many. #MementoMori #LordByron #BloggingByron

#WayBackWednesday to the day I made the acquaintance of the fabulous Lord B in Bennet Street, London. #BloggingByron #LordByron

It’s time to saddle up the horses for tonight I’m going back to the year 1813 to lose myself within the pages of this book and where I’m certain to find no such words as ‘Back Stop’ and ‘Brexit’ to vex me. And yes, the bar of chocolate is coming along for the ride! #ByronBlogging #RegencyRecondite #FridayFunday #BrexitShambles

On February 27 in 1812 and shortly he awoke to find himself famous - Lord Byron spoke out in the House of Lords to 'Rage Against the Machine'. With his instinct for the under-dog, he identified with the cause of the Luddites and claiming to be as penniless as those he supported; he voiced his opposition to the introduction of the death penalty. I know I should have shared this yesterday but at a distance of 207 years - another day won’t make much difference... #BloggingByron #RegencyRecondite #LordByron

Today is the celebration of Burns Night and last year having enjoyed a fabulous supper of Haggis - I had to refuse the 'wee dram' of fine Scotch whiskey on offer - BUT had I done so, I would have raised a glass in honour of Lady Caroline Lamb who died on this day in 1828 at the age of forty two. However, it's probably fair to say that even with the passage of time, opinion remains as divided about her in death, as it was in life! #PiccadillyGhost #BloggingByron #RegencyRecondite #LordByron #HomeWithByron #LadyCarolineLamb #BurnsNight

A Return to the Year 1815…

The Tales from Lord Byron’s Abode!

‘Of All Romances in Miniature… Perhaps this is the Best Shape in which Romance can Appear.’ ~ Lord Byron

Inspired by the life of this fabulous poet, ’13 Piccadilly Terrace’ is the story of a 12th scale historical house which has enjoyed world wide recognition – however, the story is FAR from over!

Follow me as I return to the year 1815 and step inside Number 13 and take you into the fabulous world of Lord Byron and that of his family as he lived at Piccadilly Terrace.

Watch me as I recreate his lifestyle in miniature as faithfully as possible and along the way, you’ll learn something about the dazzling Regency era too!

Do you adore the Regency era and have a fascination for historical characters and are captivated by a time synonymous with elegant romance?

Or would you love to take a peep behind closed doors and hear tales of scandal and intrigue in another era of hard work and ravenous appetites?

This is THE world for YOU!
