As many of our regular readers know, Emma Claire Sweeney and I took a break from our literary website Something Rhymed over the summer.
In our time away, Emma has been on a First Impression writing retreat in Barreiro in Portugal. I have taken part in a trek in northern Thailand organised by Mahouts Elephant Foundation. For eight days and more than 130 km, we walked a pair of elephants from where they have been working in a camp on the outskirts of the city of Chiang Mai to their new forest home. You can read more about the trek here if you are interested.
Emma and I are looking forward to bringing you September’s month of posts, starting with today’s profile of writer friends Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Mary Russell Mitford. We are grateful to Lydia at Persephone Books for suggesting we research the relationship between this pair. You can read the whole post here.
