Hello!

Hello, my name is Alice-Miranda Highton-Smith-Kennington-Jones. I'm very excited to have my own blog where I can tell all my friends what I've been doing at school and at home. It's been a little while since I started at my new school, Winchesterfield-Downsfordvale Academy for Proper Young Ladies. I'm a boarder which means that I get to stay at school all term. I love it - it's like having a sleep over with your friends every night. My best friend is Millicent Jane McLoughlin-McTavish-McNoughton-McGill, but you can just call her Millie. She's a bit older than me. We share a room and we love lots of the same things like Devil's Food cake and chocolate brownies and riding. I will try to write every week and please if you want to write to me I would love to hear from you. Lots of love, Alice-Miranda xx
