Hi, Janet; I have just finished reading your latest Blog on Soane & the Grand Tour; and what can I say? Fascinating, erudite, brilliant… I can say all of these things – and many more! – but I wouldn’t want to turn your head too far; so I will just leave it at those three adjectives and pass on my congratulations and thanks for a REALLY interesting and enlightening read. I will certainly hope to visit the Sloane on a future visit to London.

Reading the details and itinerary of John Soane’s Grand Tour left me breathless and exhausted. It also made me wonder how on earth – in an age with no cars, computers, trains, skis or iPhones – he managed to visit so many places in such a relatively short space of time. How did he manage to get from A to B, including the arduous journey over the Alps?

Then I remembered your fascinating Blog on “Crossing the Alps – Grand Tourist Style” and your kind offer to carry me over the Alps in a plush sedan chair – (I’m still waiting….!) – and enjoyed re-reading that, Blog, as well.

Keep it up, young Lady.

Many thanks again,

Luv

John
