I'm reading Unforgettable,Unforgotten by Anna Buchan (Pen name O.Douglas) it's a memoir of her family (her brother was John Buchan of "The 39 steps" fame)
The family are falling ill with a yukky sore throat/tummy bug so it may be an "at home" and indoors by the fire day today..we'll see.
If so I daresay I'll be reading more of this book to them as they are enjoying it so much.
Cats in the Belfry by Doreen Tovey

My Blog List... Chatty
My Blog List interesting
from an old gravestone
If you hold your nose to the Grindstone
and you leave it there long enough,
Then soon you'll say
there's no such things
as brooks that babble
and birds that sing,
these three will all your world compose,
just you, the stone and your poor old nose.
(from memory so may not be word perfect)
