Can you believe this? I love Jane too, but when the museum run at her old home in Chawton, Hampshire has to ask that people stop leaving piles of ashes around the place...book lust run amok I guess.

Wow! I like the quote "It is distressing for visitors to see mounds of human ash, particularly so for our gardener." Their poor poor Gardener.
