I went into town this afternoon with a long list of things I needed to buy. I came home with a box of Christmas crackers and a copy of PD James's 'Death Comes to Pemberley', neither of which were on my list, and almost nothing else. I've no idea why I bought the crackers but I'm quite excited about the book which is a 'sequel' to Pride and Prejudice. PD James is an expert on Jane Austin so I hope she manages to introduce a murder into genteel Pemberley without the whole story being totally ridiculous. I haven't read any reviews so I'll find out soon. PD James is 91 so I'm thinking there's still time for me to write a novel....I just need a good idea, a few plot twists, some character development......
Thanks for the fabulous response to yesterday's shot - I was surprised and very pleased!
I had to laugh when you said you had come back with out much on your list Judith the crackers and the book sound much more fun . I
Hope the book is good ? love your picture of the market place , the light shining on the street is good
This is a really lovely shot of the market, I love the warm glow shining out on a rainy night. Fav.
I bought the same book on a whim on Saturday and started to read it on Sunday! I love how she has managed to write it in the same style as Jane Austen, so far so good with the story.
Great shot, I thought it was 4am at first. I love how you captured this. I always do my Christmas shopping like this, I see something I like, buy it for somone else 'cause I know they will love it and end up keeping it for myself. lol
@kaisisland It was in the afternoon and I've never seen it so quiet - the dark and weather must have put people off - the stall holders looked pretty fed up...
I had heard that she was writing a sequel but had forgotten, will be interested to know what you think !!! funnily enough I took a very similar shot today in Fleetwood but mine was in daylight & not as interesting as this so I discarded it !! Lovely winter light & shiny pavements !!
lol, crackers must have wanted to come home with you and the book sounds great, so great I am heading over to that famous book supplying web page to pick up a copy for my hols, love the street shot
Great photo, with lots of interest. You've managed to get a very colourful shot on what was probably one of the greyest days we've had this year! The reflections in the wet stones in the foreground are a nice touch. By coincidence PD James was on the radio talking about the book as I drove home around this time, so your narrative made some sense (literature not being one of my strong points)!
Love this Judith.....I've always liked night shots with a focus on shining lights......so attractive....wondering why there is a jumper hanging on the greengrocery stall?? I heard PD james interviewed about this book, what a creative idea, what a lively mind! A fave Judith!
fab shot - i've tried to do this one before too in cambridge and they came out not so great....though it was a year since so maybe I ought to give it another go! loving the reflections and lights, great night shot
Hope the book is good ? love your picture of the market place , the light shining on the street is good

silly me! guess it's been a long day and I just thought it was in the morning... could be in the morning though.
Have a good read!
Will look out for the book.
Love your shot Judith!
