Next read, final book in the back catalogue of Sarah Hall, my newly discovered author this year. Love wolves, would choose as my familiar. #Booksky #Fiction

Described by The Guardian as “One of the greatest writers of the Twentieth Century”

Yes you are correct on both counts. I’m not a lover of any creepy crawlies, but they certainly look ferocious!

Found two critters in the garden. First time we have ever met an Elephant Hawk Moth. The moth should appear next May and looks very beautiful!

Read one book by this author nearly ten years ago which I really enjoyed. Had this one on my shelf for a long, long time, it’s next up.

The sweet peas were loaded today. I’m having to be versatile with containers!!

Read The Snow Child years ago and loved it. Let’s try this one. #Fiction #Booksky

Sweet peas keep on coming!

New book to read outdoors in the garden on this glorious day! #Booksky #Fiction

Returning to Sarah Hall. #Booksky #Fiction

Some more day Lillie’s have appeared! So pretty!

The taties are flowering, won’t be long before we are enjoying minted butter taties for our family meals! The onions are looking good too! 😋🧅🥔

The sweet peas just keep coming. Made this table centre piece today.

Off to the city of Electric Dreams! #Booksky #Fiction #Fantasy

Sarah Hall writes great short stories! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Completed a few household chores, husband is out at the old farts club, now sat in a darkened room with two fans going. New book at the ready and a coffee with my wee pal at my side, I’m done! Peace! #Booksky #Fiction #ShortStories

Good luck England!!

I always enjoy Jeffrey Archer’s writing. The William Warwick series have been great. Let’s see how this one measures up! #Booksky #Fiction #Crime

Need a little light relief, short stories quick read next. #Booksky #Fiction #Shortstories

Feels like it’s taken me ages to read this one. I can’t say I found it an enjoyable read. I found it to be a triggering text and had an overkill of violence. I was glad when I’d finished it. Shuggie Bain had the same depressive impact on me as a reader. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Onwards… #Booksky #Fiction

We had winds and heavy rain last night. Our back garden faces onto the coast and always bears the brunt of the weather coming in off the Irish Sea. Our lovely pot of Delphiniums took a hit. Now in a vase on the window ledge. Didn’t even get a chance to open their buds.

Next up a bit of Cumbrian dystopia. “ The Lake District’s answer to The Handmaid’s Tale… (Guardian) #Booksky #DystopianFiction

Back to Harriet Tyce, next up! #Booksky #Fiction #Crime

Starting the weekend with another book of short stories by the brilliant Sarah Hall. #Booksky #Fiction #ShortStories

Voila! Found an old soap dish and repurposed too. Added some candles.

This is my biggest container of succulents, I have lots more in other smaller containers. They are all having babies so I looking for more containers to plant up. I have one idea which is to up cycle the outdoor candle holder now it’s used up. Will repost when I’ve got it done.

So my husband has created a lovely fountain in the middle of the garden. Solar powered fountain which lights up when it’s dark in a new pot filled up with water. I love it!

It is indeed. We love our garden, such a haven. 🌺🌼

The wood pigeons are serenading us this evening.
