Read about when I stumbled across Jane Austen's House ..where she lived her last days and died in on the 18th July,1817

See her house , gardens that surround it and beautiful ancient homes that still grace the streets where she lived . 

I just Stumbled over Jane's House ...Jane Austen's House where she lived and died in Winchester, England

Do you know that you can eat Pansy flowers ..Decorate a Spring themed cake with them ..

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg white with 1/2 teaspoon water.
Using tweezers, hold a pansy and lightly brush both sides of the petals to coat.
Sprinkle with sugar, shaking to remove any excess sugar.
Let dry on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet until pansies feel crisp, about 8 hours.
May be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 year
