Reading roundup 02/08/17
I read a real mixed bunch of books this week; some good, others definitely not so good! The first was White Nights by Ann Cleeves, the second in her Shetland series and the last for me. This is what I wrote … Continue reading
Update 31/07/17 The Handmaid’s Tale
This is not an Outfit of the Day post because I have been in bed all day again, wearing a motley array of comfort clothing, which is not fit to be photographed! I hope readers enjoyed the Escales Mediterranéenes post … Continue reading

Reading roundup 21/06/17
So this is the hottest June day since 1976 here in the UK. I can remember what I was doing on this day in 1976 as it was so funny. I was an Ancient History and Archaeology undergrad at the … Continue reading
Reading roundup 14/06/17
I haven’t read nearly as many books as I did last week, although that week was pretty exceptional. Perhaps I have been reading more web-based stuff? More likely, I got caught up with the General Election and became obsessed with … Continue reading
