    Reading a hyper local book, beautifully written touching on many aspects of life here. The farm she writes of goes on, run by the 4th generation.

      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...

        Just googled your 'Valley of the Poets', and images; what a lovely area of the US it looks.

            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!

                      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.
