RE: On Pens, Diaries, Mrs Dalloway and Oliver Cromwell | Friday 10 October 2025

Interesting you mentioned Mrs Dalloway. I've just come back from a visit to Monk's House where part of it was written. Saw Virginia's typewriter and writing desk etc. I enjoyed the garden more than the house though as it was unusually (apparently) busy today, despite having had to book a slot in advance.

Sort:  

It's going to be interesting finally reading her writing.

I think a typewriter may be the next current thing that I am going to have to get.

What sense did you get from the house?

I didn't really get a sense of it as there were too many people around. It was hard to stay present. Her bedroom was very cosy. 😂

Good luck with reading her. I gave up as did many people visiting the house by the sound of it. 😂

I'm glad her bedroom was cosy, it must have been right chilly in those days. I remember my mum used to wear her big coat in the house all through the winter.
