The President is disgusting and a disgrace.

And he’s clearly rattled by yesterday’s turnout.

On the trail of #JaneAusten this week with ACE Cultural Tours.

We've been to her birthplace in Steventon & her gravestone in Winchester. Yesterday was #Bath, today Lyme Regis (& 'Persuasion'). And tomorrow, her last home & @chawtonhouse.bsky.social .
