AW sets her night-cap on fire, singing her pretty flaxen hair. All survived.

AW laid the first stone for AL's casino.
In 1867, AW's niece Ann Walker Sutherland Stansfeld did the same at her church. View Annie's trowel at insearchofannwalker.com/ann-walker-n...

Another first for AW - going down a pit with AL, Booth and Hinscliffe. She showed no fear as they christened Listerwick pit.

Because I'm living in hell (US) right now, I enjoyed Film Club...a cute little film. Think it's awesome that this young woman created it and SJ supported her and was in it. Nice people....we need more nice now more than ever.

I wouldn't have lasted a day with her....let alone these trips she took Ann on. I would have been happy to be left dead on the side of the road.

AW doesn't appreciate being styled as AL's niece. AW cries as AL talks to the princess about Shibden.

Time to get rid of AW...oh wait, AL NEVER DID. AW said more than once that life w/AL wasn't what she expected. Yet they stayed together till the end.

AL will be glad to get rid of Miss Ferrall. She thinks so little of AL's pleasure.

Glad to get rid of Mariana, not a great visit. M did not wish to travel, liked her hens and chickens better.
