Wednesday 18th March - Posting in haste

Book club starts i a minute or so; Last month's book was 'The Frozen River' by Ariel Lawhorn -  maybe tooo much information on childbirth and sexual assault in the Northern America in the Winter of 1789 for comfortable reading, but a gripping story, well told for all that. I really enjoyed it.

This month we meet to discuss The Frozen River and choose the next book from

Patrick Bringley's memoir 'All the Beauty in the World', which I strongly recommend and am more than happy to re-read 

Alan Bennett's diaries 'Keeping on keeping on' - I love reading diaries

Evie Woods - 'The Violin Maker's Secret' which I think I will read regardless as it looks good

M L Stteadman - -A Far Flung Life' - family saga, which doesn't really appeal.

I'll let you know!

I ave now got 6 Amaryliis bulbs on the go! Two have finished flowering and are growing ENORMOUS leaves.


The have been moved to an upstairs windowsill o make room for these;


No 1 was packaged in the same sort of box as the earlier ones, left over in the shop from Christmas, no doubt, It was growing out of its box when I planted it.

The others are left over from last year.

No 3 suddenly came to life of its own accord. I hurridly watered it and brought it downstairs. No 4 likewise, and then I thought I might as well water no 2 and see what happens.

Right. I attend the book club via zoom, and it's past time to join. Toodle-oo
