2020 reading goals

As previously posted on this blog, I like to set some goals in September which is my birthday month and nothing has really changed since then.

I am setting my Goodreads goal to 60 again, but I am not putting any pressure on myself to hit 90 books like I did last year.

I would like to read all the Harry Potter books

I would like to read the Dark Materials trilogy and then the rest of the Book of Dust series by Philip Pullman.

I would like to read more "classics"

Wishing you happy readings in this new year and new decade

Quick Catch Up

Hi All I've been absence from this blog for a while as unfortunately my beloved hubby has been diagnosed with cancer. We have caught it early and the prognosis is very good and positive. It has been a strange year all round and the last couple of months have been more stressful and worrying to say the least. Things are now on the up and thus I feel it is time I get back into updating this little blog of mine, and this little catch up is to say I am coming back. I am planning more regular content, showcasing my crafty endeavours, what I'm reading and life in general I am also pondering a better and more productive blog schedule for 2021. Watch this space. With love and wishing you a good week Lesley xx

Eating for England by Nigel Slater

Any one who knows me knows I adore Nigel Slater. He is pure comfort and joy. I absolutely love his writing and I was surprised that I wasn't aware of this little gem of a book before. (It was published in 2007). As stated from the book, Eating for England is Nigel Slater's personal portrait of the British and their food. A celebration of the glories, humour, eccentricities and embarrassments that make up that extraordinary thing that is the British table. This a collection of mini essays celebrating such delights as Faggots and Gravy, Murray Mints, Oxo Cubes, Fruit and Nut, Frys Five Centres, Boiled Brussels Sprouts , Quality Street, Colmans Mustard and Sarsons Vinegar to name but a few. This book is nostalgic, funny, and is a delight to read. As usual when I read anything by Nigel, I hear his voice in my head, as if he is personally reading it to me. I loved this and gave it 5 stars. Happy reading Love Lesley xx
