A DVD birthday present from December. It's simply marvelous watching this version. #mappandlucia

Ok, I’ll have to read “Mapp and Lucia” now because it’s so fun watching it on the screen. Reminds me of where I live. 👀😂 #MappandLucia

Mr Jeremy Fisher is sitting on top of a wicker coffin. Dad is having a humanist ceremony tomorrow afternoon, he loved the pictures I took with the frog, so if you have a problem with this, move on.

#TheAdventuresOfJeremyFisher I spent almost an hour talking with Dad today. I told him about Mum’s visit to Australia for my 50th, read him a bit of #MappAndLucia, and played #ElgarsNimrod

A selfie of me in front of Lamb House. It’s a red brick, Georgian House with a black front door, in Rye. I’m wearing a blue corduroy jacket with a grey scarf, I’m smiling with glee, my grey hair in a quiff.

#BookSky - I went to my favourite place in the whole wide world today, Rye. Lamb House was where two English authors, Henry James (The Portrait of a Lady) and EF Benson lived.

Benson’s #MappAndLucia have been my companions for 40 years, it was nice to find his grave to say ‘thank you’

#MappAndLucia Granny gave me the books to read, they’ve been my faithful friends ever since

On this day, 40 years ago, I was introduced to what is still one of my favourite TV series - and it led me to what is still my favourite series of books ... EF Benson's glorious #MappandLucia series, dramatised by @channel4tv.bsky.social and with the peerless cast of McEwan, Scales & Hawthorne.

Book reviews: formidable women in contrasting fiction Heroines of the much-loved Mapp and Lucia novels and a female serial killer provide compelling reads with Sussex connections

Next in our book review series - formidable women in contrasting fiction. Both compelling reads, both with #Sussex connections, from the ever popular #MappandLucia series to the debut novel of a Sussex author about a notorious female poisoner in 17th century Rome

Went a good few years ago, stayed in a windmill, and really enjoyed it there. #MappandLucia

A screenshot of a book page. MyFairLord Elisabeth Hobbes find the opening notes Beethoven's fifth concerto. It didn't matter that she didn't have a sheet of music. Once she had a melody in her head, she rarely forgot it. She played it twice then moved on to the slow, ponderous first movement of the Moonlight Sonata, closing her eyes and letting the sound lull her senses. She lost herself so deeply in the music that the sound of the bell for afternoon tea took her by surprise. As she left the room, a voice muttering to itself caught her attention as she passed by the door to the billiards room. Mr Blake was in the room alone. He appeared to be halfway through a game against himself. He was standing with his back to the door but turned as she peered inside. "Lord Griggs very graciously said I was free to use the

My characters tend to enjoy the Moonlight Sonata which is an in joke for my mum and sister who, like me, love the Mapp and Lucia books. #mappandlucia #moonlightsonata #injokes #eastereggs #AuthorsOfTwitter

Mapp on Lucia:
"Mrs Lucas is quite the Italian scholar... Reading through Dante her next threat... erm, *treat*..."
