It is time to stop. There are no more trips to be done – no more places to visit nor houses to look at in the footsteps of Fanny Burney.  How she managed all the travel and moving amazes me. She must have been walking or travelling a large part of her life. Nor would it have been in the comfort that we have today. I have read her Diaries and visited the places she lived in or visited with greatly enhanced interest.  What is more, she has provided me with a historical structure to build on and I delight in coming across associations with the Burneys and their contemporaries, their times and places.

This website is the work of Ella O’Reilly who has been a most skilful editor and creator. My thanks also to Marie Jones who originally set it up as a blog and Petra Kneile who did the superb maps and my thanks to my friend Maryly La Follette for her companionship, enthusiasm and expert chauffeuring.
