Update June 2020




It's been a very weird couple of months with the Coronovirus global pandemic and being in a state of lockdown.  You would think I would have read so much but I am afraid I haven't read as much as I would have liked (Even though I am now on furlough leave, I did work right up until May 15th).  However, I have managed to 6 books in April and May

In April I read the following:-

Bear and Fred by Iris Argaman - 3 stars
Julia and Julie by Julie Powell -3 stars
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by JK Rowling -5 stars

I'm May I read the following : -

The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullam - 5 stars
Becoming by Michelle Obama (I read this on Audible) - 5 stars
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Burrows ( this was my Laurenandthebooks Patreon Book Club choice for May ) - 4 stars

I am also currently reading The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman and Girl, Woman, Other by Bernadine Everisto.

For June I am participating in Laurenandthebooks Pride and Prejunedice month.  I am going to read Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, and also other books related to it.  This months Laurenandthebooks Patreon book club choice is Longbourne by Jo Baker and I am also planning to listen to The Other Bennett Sister by Janice Hadlow on Audible.

Whilst on my furlough leave, I have been busy converting a very messy and neglected "craft/dumping ground" room into a reading room. I have made huge progress and it is starting to look  like a relaxing space where I can go to read and relax.  I am hoping that my reading will become more prolific as I discovered so many book I forgot I had on my shelves and it is more organised.  I even created space to house some of my husbands many sports related books on my shelves.

I hope that June is a good reading month

Happy reading

love Lesley xx

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

What a Year!!!!

What a year 2020 has been.   Coronavirus has virtually dominated the whole world and the way we live our lives have altered for all.  We haven't been able to do all the things we would normally enjoy do,  due  to the national and local tiered restrictions imposed on us.  We haven't been able to visit friends and family, enjoys holidays and breaks away, do so called normal things like shopping and visits to cafes and restaurants and for some people haven't even been able to work.  To say the very least, this year has been tough for all. On a personal level, I've been lucky in the fact that I only experienced a very tiny period off on furlough and I am currently still working.  My husband also has been able to work throughout the pandemic, although he has been working from home. I haven't felt much like shopping so have only been shopping in the supermarkets if I can't get an online delivery.  Anything else I am afraid have come from Amazon....
