Quite sunny so far, but still a cold wind.

I've just got "The Venetian Game" by Philip Gwynne

Just had to google ziti to find out what it was - sounds nice!

I've got tomorrow off as well, have a good day Chesil!

Still cold and wet!

Sweet Harmony - The Beloved

That's how I'm treating it too, as long as there's a bit of a "flavour" of the county, rather than it just happens to be the location for the book.

Sweet child of mine - Guns n Roses

soul

Yes mine picks up US spellings as well, but I just ignore it, I know I'm right!

Cold and wet today, as predicted.

Hush - Kula Shaker

I recently finished "The Trysting Tree" by Linda Gillard, another beautifully written story, this time set in Somerset, and centring around Ann and her mother Phoebe, and a young man, Connor, who with the help of the women sets about finding out the truth about his family. Ann, who is coming to terms with the break-up of her marriage, moves in with Phoebe who, following successful treatment for cancer, is becoming rather frail and not very good at looking after herself. So Ann takes charge, and finally persuades Phoebe to sell her house, in the grounds of a country estate, and move somewhere more practical for hr. During a storm, an ancient beech tree is felled, and a box of strange letters, written on old seed packets, is found concealed in it's trunk. Meanwhile, Connor turns up, ostensibly to view the house, but he eventually admits that he has a personal interest, for his great-grandmother, Ivy, used to live there - she died recently, but a large contributor to her death was the fire which she accidentally started whilst burning all the family records, letters, photos etc - what was she trying to hide? So we get a voyage of discovery, as Connor tries to find out about his family, and Ann tries to find out why her father really left when she was 5, and why he's never attempted to contact her. This was very enjoyable, with a nice, dry sense of humour, and the admittedly predictable romance between Ann and Connor is well-handled. 8/10

Yes I dread seeing it updated too! Oh that's a shame, I used to like watching out for the little appearances he made in most of the TV episodes.

Oliver Twist - Charles Dickens

Warily

Hi there!

Lovely and sunny, clear blue skies, but it's got so cold, really chilly wind.

Little Women - Louisa May Alcott

Still drizzly and really windy.

Yes it is, thanks.

It's so hard keeping up with series isn't it, I keep saying no more series, then another one comes along and I give in! It's been over a year since I read City of Glass so I can't remember much about it now, but hope to read the next one sometime this year.

Very windy, and heavy drizzle last night.

Honey Honey - Abba

HI Danielle!
