Reliving our UK Trip Through Pub Photos on Instagram

Reliving our UK Trip Through Pub Photos on Instagram

During and after the International Agatha Christie Festival in September we took about two million photos. No one, naturally, wants to see a travelogue that long. But pulling out photos with similar themes makes them a little more fun. 

I posted a series during October leading up to Halloween. Those photos were of cemeteries, gravestones, and similar macabre images. Since we love old churches and churchyards, it is unsurprising that we took quite a few pictures that fit that theme!

We also love pubs and, of course, we had to eat every day, so we took an awful lot of pub photos, too. Last week I started a new series of photo posts on Instagram featuring many of the pubs we visited during our tour of England and Scotland. If you'd like to see them, you can find them at "kategingoldauthor."

Some are in common tourist areas like York and Oxford, so let me know if you have been to any of them yourself. Or  tell us if we missed a really good one! I'll keep a list for the next time we visit the United Kingdom.

What is Agatha Annotated?

This website is the home of the Agatha Christie database as annotated by Kate Gingold, hence the name Agatha Annotated.

It's a rich glossary of

  • nearly 1900 terms
  • over 200 illustrations
  • 347 French phrases

Kate found them while reading Agatha Christie novels, and wrote them, along with definitions curated from years of research, into this database.

Currently the first 11 Christie books, those she wrote in the 1920s, are annotated here. 

Anybody can be a member and gain access to this rich glossary. Visit the Community page to learn the details.

We took the 1920s terms and published a book, Agatha Annotated: Investigating the Books of the 1920s, now available on Amazon in Paperback or Kindle format.

Kate will be adding to the database and members get the new terms and definitions first before the second volume is printed, plus members can comment and ask questions about the terms and Kate and other members can reply.

We hope you enjoy. Click around the pages to learn more.

Kate Gingold

... has been a huge fan of the works of Agatha Christie her entire adult life. Christie's vivid descriptions of picturesque English life in the early-to-mid twentieth century fascinated Kate, but many of the people and places were unfamiliar to her. A writer herself, as well as a researcher and historian with several local history books to her credit, Kate began a list of these strange words and set out to define them. Now, Christie fans like you and all those who come after will be able to fully enjoy the richness of Agatha Christie novels with their own copy of Agatha Annotated.
