I am inordinately pleased to belong to The Bloomsbury group, and look forward to reading every article and contribution. It will encourage me to re read some much loved literature from that period. Thank you for accepting me as a member!

I agree it was fantastic and so many texts. It was very quiet and we had lots of time to study and discuss between ourselves. Some things I’ve never seen before.

Do you have any favorite little places to visit in Bloomsbury itself?

Sadly, when I go down it’s usually a flying visit. I go regularly for work meetings and social events organised by them. Usually there and back in a day. But, in Bloomsbury itself probably the British Museum. And the Virginia Woolf statue of course - which is just round the corner from our offices. How about you? :)

I have enjoyed reading some of your work and am so glad I have subscribed. So much interesting material and no doubt will assist me in my quest to read more classics including some of Virginia Woolf's novels that I have yet to read. I would love to visit England (it's been too long since my last visit) and do a literary tour of some kind. Thank you for providing such a wonderful space.

I joined Beyond Bloomsbury but I was inundated with Substack organisations. Now I am receiving invitations to 'join' Bloomsbury again. I am confused

I have been a free subscriber for more than a year. Yesterday, I thought I took advantage of the £5 offer, even filled the form out twice, when it didn’t seem to take. Today, I am crushed to find I have no subscription at all, not even the free one now. Wonder how I went wrong? Thank you, though. I enjoy your writing and all the pictures.

Hi Annie, it doesn't look like I can send you a direct message via Substack. If you still have an issue trying to subscribe, just let me know here, and I will look into it for you. Alternatively, you can contact Substack Support at support@substack.com. Best wishes, Victoria
