    So I was browsing the charity shops of Durham City, and found that one is moving. Selling off stock, 10 books/cds for a pound, to eliminate moving costs. 10p a book!
    This is the most lovely gardening book, though for the larger English garden, I guess it can be applied anywhere.
    MrsA is our gardener, I prune the trees, hedge, lawn. This is an inspirational book however, beautifully painted plans to go with photos...

      Gotta love browsing our charity shops. Book's like new, and the other seven were near fine. Got to ten by selecting a Mozart and a mandolin CD.
      Made my day, countering the 20p/litre jump in diesel price.

          Also from a thrift store, this book chronicles wooden boat building in/around Lake Muskoka, Ontario, Canada, 1900 through about 1970.

          Beautiful things they are, and the photographs are wonderful!

              I started reading this but, I found myself with little time to do so because I am practicing so much! 😊

                There are still a couple of launch builders here in England.

                  Listening to this:

                  IMG_0997.jpeg

                  I finished the English history book and am still (re)reading Shirer’s Rise and Fall.

                  Funny to go back and forth between Weimar and Hitler’s Germany.

                      In London last weekend I got these in an Oxfam bookshop

                      20260329_163100.jpg

                      Today I trawled for charity shops in a nearby town and spent a colossal £5.50 for these (six are really nice, including on watercolour for MrsA, an interesting flower ID by month they flower, the one with Harold King is a Folio Society from 1973 on the Bayeux Tapestry with complete photography, Shining Sands will be my first read though)
