The Last Post: An Eternal Edwardian Picnic

The blogging instinct, as any blogger who has been at it for any length of time will know, waxes and wanes over time. This little offering has been on the go for almost three years now, begun in a moment of wonderment and fervour for history, food, and the blogging medium. Though I can never claim to have been an exceptionally regular poster, I have thoroughly enjoyed doing so when the spirit moved (along with writing for my primary blog The Idle Historian). The interaction with readers has been particularly fulfilling. All, this, however, does not alter the fact that one's last post was on Christmas Eve 2012 and it is now past the summer solstice as we anticipate warm days and the promise of fine (we hope) months of holiday and leisure.

The time has therefore come to officially wind down Eating Like an Edwardian, though it will remain published as people from all over the world search it out daily. I hope many of them still find interest in the arcane bits and pieces of information and commentary contained therein. I wish to leave the blog and my readers in that most pleasant and Edwardian of spots: a country picnic. In this landscape of the mind the weather is always just perfect, the company friendly, and the food varied, filling, and divine. Following the First World War many individuals were found to remember the earlier days of Edwardian England as "always sunny." Naturally they could not have been in fact, but this does not negate the pleasure of memory. A happy eternal summer to you all.
