  • This year's featured couple is Jamie and Claire from Outlander S5 (the same couple in Period Dramas 2014). I never would have imagined that when I selected the period drama couple photo for 2019 (Victoria and Albert), that was how 2019 would turn out for me. So I'm choosing a happier image for 2020 (Emma and Mr Knightley have too much tension). Upcoming Period Dramas 2020 - Future

The Philpot Lane Mice can be found at 23 Eastcheap in London. I confess that as much as I look up, I wouldn’t have found these mice in August had I not read about them in @atlasobscura. These mice appeared in the movie ‘Last Christmas’ (2019). •
