"For never was there a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo" π‘οΈβ€οΈβοΈπ₯ I watched this 2013 version of Romeo and Juliet for the first time today! I honestly loved it. The costumes, the sets, the delivery of Shakespeare's lines were all so lush and rich and beautiful. I teared up several times. No matter what people like to say about this play, it will forever hold a special place in my heart, since I first bought a little paperback from the scholastic catalogue in 7th grade (which still sits on my shelf). #shakespeare #williamshakespeare #shakespearean #theatre #theater #play #playwright #verona #romeoandjuliet #romeomontague #julietcapulet #wherecivilbloodmakescivilhandsunclean #theseviolentdelightshaveviolentends #starcrossedlovers #italianrenaissance #literature #britishliterature #missdaffodilsdaydreams

I could pray right now and not find it a bit hard.'

They are little cozy mysteries set in the lovely rural English countryside of the Lake District where Beatrix Potter had her farm.

"Where our hearts truly lie is in peace and quiet and good tilled earth." -Bilbo Baggins πΎ Are you enjoying this autumn like a hobbit? πππͺ΅πΎπ³π₯π₯π₯§π« I'm trying to get back into a good routine of tea time. Having a lot of visitors and visiting, I got out of my habit. And it is a habit that brings me much joy and peace of mind. I love slowing down in the afternoon, steeping a pot of tea, perhaps making some buttered toast or a baked good, and then sitting down in a comfy chair with a good book to enjoy the moment and free my mind from the everlasting whirl of the world. I feel I'd get along swimmingly with hobbits. Like Tolkien, I too am a hobbit in all but size. ππΎπ« #hobbit #hobbits #theshire #hobbitgirlautumn #hobbitautumn #autumnintheshire #merry #meridocbrandybuck merrybrandybuck #bilbobaggins #teatime #thehobbit #thelordoftherings #thefellowshipofthering #twotowers #thereturnoftheking #jrrtolkien #jrrtolkienquote #tolkien #hobbitinallbutsize #autumn #autumnal #tea #hobbitmenu #breakfastsecondbreakfastelevensesluncheonafternoonteadinnersupper #secondbreakfast #missdaffodilsdaydreams
