A Happy New Year!

Nicola here. Farewell to 2019 and to the "twenty tens!" As we enter a new decade, the Word Wenches would like to thank you for your continued support for the blog and wish you a very Happy New Year. Together, the Wenches and our blog readers form a community that loves chatting about history, books, writing and life in general. We look forward to many more discussions in the years ahead!

A hundred years ago in 1920, the new era was greeted with excitement in western society. In the wake of the First World War, the "Roaring Twenties" were known for a period of economic prosperity and cultural development. In London the decade was ushered in with a number of very smart black tie events as well as some less formal partying! A hundred years on we are in a very different place but who knows what this new era will bring? As long as there are new books, old favourites and friends to talk to here, we'll be good! Wishing you and your loved ones all good things for the new year and the new decade!

Happy New Year to all the Wenches and your extended families as well! Here's hoping 2020 brings you everything good and bright. I'm very grateful for this little corner of the interwebs.

Happy New Year Nicola and to all of you. I love this blog and have discovered so many new books through it. Looking forward to some more in 2020.

Thank you very much, theo. We're very happy you are part of the Wench corner!

Thank you, Teresa, and all good wishes to you and yours. Here's to plenty of good reading in 2020!

Thanks for the good wishes.

A genealogy friend of my posted pictures of her New Years Eve celebration. She dressed up as a flapper! (And did a great job.) It made me think that perhaps the Chareston should have a comeback! I was born in the 1920s, but I won't be 100 until 2027 (I should live so long). So I don't remember the Charleston, but a college friend of both my parents danced it for her daughter and her friends while I was visiting them. I looked like a lot of fun!

Wishing a very happy new year to all the wenches and to all who read this. Best wishes for a wonderful 2020!

Wow, Sue, that's amazing! I'd love to learn the Charleston. It looks quite complicated but also a lot of fun! A very happy decade to you!

Thank you very much, Kareni!
