I sent it off last night:-) With a whole day to spare (I’d had it for about a year in the end). I ended up with four selections for one chapter, but all the rest were two or three only. Having finished, I find I really enjoyed the opportunity to go back and closely re-read a book I have loved for many years. I often (once a year I guess) read it again, but rarely concentrate as closely as I did this time. I am now going to take on ‘Swallows and Amazons’ by Arthur Ransome as my next project… hopefully it will take me less than a year to do:-)

In other reading, I took ‘Roots, Shoots, Buckets and Boots’ by Sharon Lovejoy out of the library on the recommendation of one of the homeschooling lists I’m on. It’s fabulous! It has details for a number of garden projects to do with kids, and I am now longing for Puggle to be old enough to do some of them:-)

I’m also in the process of reading ‘What Jane Austen Ate and Charles Dickens Knew’ by Daniel Poole. I’ve had it for years, but I don’t think I’ve read the whole thing through before. I’m kind of on a Regency kick at the moment thanks to ‘Regency House Party’ being on at the moment.

Anyway. Time to go outside some more. The weather is fabulous at the moment. Beautiful sunny, clear days. It’s actually possible to get hot just wandering around outside. I’m really enjoying getting outside and walking—rather a shock to me:-)
