Oh dear, did I mention the coming of Spring a little too early???
Oops,I hope that you are all warm and cosy EVEN if you are under a blanket of snow!
No such luck here I am afraid, just horrible cold drizzly rain...
So when the weather is not much fun,time to do the only sensible thing-eat and curl up with a good book!
So firstly we went out for lunch - sadly I forgot my camera, we had lunch here...
'The Meeting Room' in Kingsbridge....
I had a bowl of the most wonderful steaming hot aromatic stew and a glass of equally delicious Merlot-then we trawled the charity shops for books to take home and read!
Firstly I couldn't resist these....
...for 20pence each...
They are the ones that my Grandmother read to me as a child-well not the actual ones but it was lovely to see the Ladybird ones that I remember so well and read until they fell apart! Still looking for The Elves and the Shoemaker-my favourite!
The complete works of Lewis Carroll- for £1.50....
The Borrowers,Brer Rabbit and The Folk of the Faraway Tree....all for £1.00 each...
I know they are largely childrens books but I am hoping that my niece will love reading as much as I did and I have 'tons' of books- just in case....
Then I found...
a couple of 'rainy afternoon' books...
And when we got home this was waiting in the post box...
Ah, another busy weekend.....
Though in between the reading I did manage a good walk...
So I haven't been completely idle!
Warm Wishes for a 'cosy' week,
Callie

My comments have not published, I just realised what the e mails were about now!!! Glad youve sorted it out! I had a lot of sow on Saturday night. Unfortunately I was working and it was really busy, we didn't stop for 12 hours! I would love to have been snuggled up!
The Elves and the Shoemaker was my favourite too! But luckily I still have my original copy.
