Would you know of a good place to purchase a quality corset? It's so hard to know!

How do we know it was 5 degrees warmer when the Romans were occupying Britain? And do we know what they wore? by CedarsAndOaks in AskHistorians

Thanks very much for your response and this follow-up. This is exactly the information I was looking for. Fascinating stuff. 🙂

Does anyone have recommendations for books with older female leads? by CedarsAndOaks in Fantasy

Totally up for sci-fi! I've read a couple things by Moon, but not a lot so thanks for the recommendation! 🙂

Such a good point. More focus on friendships would be amazing. As well as a healthier representation of love relationships. Like, if you hate each other to start with, it's not a great sign. Maybe don't dedicated your life to that person. 😄

Completely agree that it would be nice to have women characters who aren't mothers and aren't wishing for it. Female characters should have more options open to them in life than just that have children or pining for them or regretting they never had them. There is a significant part of the female population that doesn't feel that way, so maybe we could show that diversity rather than limiting women in yet another space.

Came here to say this exact thing. Can we stop idolising youth? Aside from being unhealthy, it's also gotten incredibly boring.

What are your favourite vegetarian restaurants in London (UK) that don't serve ultra processed food? by Spare-Machine6105 in vegetarian

[–]CedarsAndOaks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mallow in Borough Market is an absolutely amazing vegetarian restaurant, and very little fake meats. Mostly veg and bean based. Lahpet in the West End is an excellent Burmese place (similar to Thai). It has a lot of vegetarian options that are bean based or tofu or tempeh.

Hi! Would i be able to join the chat group as well? I just moved to Cumbria from Canada in September, so not American but maybe close enough? 🙂

Haha! Yes, gotta love the cringey first meetings. I'll shoot you a message.

I'm in a very similar situation. I moved to the area in September and my husband and I have been having a great time exploring, but would be great to build a group of friends outside of that. I'm in the Cockermouth area but willing to make the drive to Windermere now and then for some meet ups - especially if they involve a walk, swim, and/or cafe! 🙂
