161. An England Travelogue

Amy at Nancy Mitford’s grave

In this week’s mini, Amy shares some of the lesser-known spots she visited on her August trip to England (which included meetups with a few past guests from the show!). From Cotswolds beauty to bizarre curiosities—as well as a few lost ladies—you’ll be wishing she had packed you along in her suitcase!

CORRECTION:  Leonora Carrington originally met Max Ernst at Erno and Ursula Goldfinger’s previous address at the Highpoint apartments in North London. They were never married.
