BTW, you have just described my BIG sofa where I sit of an evening . . . An assortment of books, cats, knitting, cushions and across the back a motley crew of crocheted blankets (one I made) mostly found for a pound or so each at car boot sale . . . Sounds like the illustrated Lark Rise to Candleford has your name on - far superior with the beautiful Helen Allingham illustrations . . .<br /><br />WSC - When I was in Manorbier this summer, even the church led me astray, as there was a selection of donated books there and of course, it would have been churlish to come away empty-handed . . .Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-70324136912860055722009-10-07T09:06:33.990-07:002009-10-07T09:06:33.990-07:00If only we could pass the joys of books on to a yo...If only we could pass the joys of books on to a younger generation--those who seem caught up in computer games and such! I am about to be crowded out of this little room by tipples of books--and more books. I finished Nella Last's War on Saturday and felt that I would have enjoyed being her neighbor. Nella Last's Peace is here, but I am burrowed into An Echo in the Bone.... along with having to work at home on deadline for quilt samples. The illustrated Lark Rise to Candleford was still at the Book Basket when I went in for your Edwin Way Teale--I resisted it once again as I have a paperback copy somewhere, but it seems to be calling to me, as such things do. <br />I must say, you do keep tantalizing us with views of that wide-lapped red chair and its cozy cushions. It would hold me, an assortment of cats, a spare book or two!Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-5449733181198583432009-10-07T00:24:15.631-07:002009-10-07T00:24:15.631-07:00Oh the joys of rummaging through second-hand books...Oh the joys of rummaging through second-hand bookshops. My cheap old books are usually acquired at the doctor's surgery where they sell donated items for 50p each. I don't go that often, so stock up on anything that takes my fancy when I do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
