‘Of All Romances in Miniature… Perhaps this is the Best Shape in which Romance Can Appear.’ ~ Lord Byron
Inspired by the life of the fabulous poet Lord Byron – ‘The Ghost of Piccadilly’ is the story of a 12th scale historical house which has enjoyed world wide recognition – however, the story is FAR from over!
Welcome…
At Home with Lord Byron…
Let me take you into the fabulous world of Lord Byron and his household as he lived at 13 Piccadilly Terrace and along the way, you’ll learn something about the dazzling Regency era too..
“Walked early to look at my old house in Piccadilly – saw into the room where I have sat with him, and felt as if I had lived there with a friend who was long since dead to me.
No sense of past agony – all mournfully soft.”
“I really love this big house and wish that I could visit all the time – BUT to be allowed to play with it would be even better!
I wouldn’t like to live in it though as I can see NO toys and I’d miss my IPad and colouring pencils too much…”
”It’s a nice enough house and big enough for this feline to get lost in as I have to protect my paws when Lord Byron’s bad-tempered hound is on the prowl.
BUT it is a rather chilly house as there is NO central heating AND sooty whiskers is NEVER a good look!”
“When Lady Caroline Lamb described Byron as ‘mad, bad and dangerous to know’ it summed up his flamboyant reputation as one of the leading figures in the Romantic Movement…
Today he might be described as a ‘Player’.
What would he have made of Tee Bylo making his London home the subject of her attentions I wonder?”
“As everything in my ‘real’ world becomes crazier with each passing day, I really wish that I could shrink and move to Piccadilly Terrace as a perpetual house guest.
AND preferably with chocolate to enjoy, books to read, NO bills to pay OR any dishes to clean and NO laundry to attend to.”
