Bogs, fudge and the end of the world… a weekly check-in
It’s been weirdly warm these last few days. Yesterday we went on an extended version of our Burley walk, took a wrong turn and ended up walking through a bog. Eventually we made it back into Burley and bought a pile of Burley Fudge who…

Windswept… a weekly check-in
I skipped my check-in last week because I was feeling a bit glum and unmotivated, and didn’t really have much to update on anyway. Now I’ve had a few days off work, I’ve finished some books and my mood has improved. I did manage to…
On My Radar: October
The leaves are starting to turn and the nights are drawing in, which must mean it’s time for a round up of October releases. Next month sees the ramp up of Christmas gift titles, so can sometimes be a little dry on things I want…
Top Ten: Autumn TBR
Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Will these actually be the books I read this autumn? Or will I just flail around reading random things on my kindle? Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff I’ve actually just started this chunkster…
Beavering away… a weekly check-in
I feel like I’ve lost my blogging mojo again, work’s been pretty busy and I just run out of momentum by the time evening comes round. Instead I’ve spent a few hours building beaver cities in the early release version of Timberborn. I find these…
A long walk and a big pile of reading… a weekly check-in
Thanks to a couple of detours, one planned, one not-so-much, our weekend walk ended up nearly 9 miles long. We walked from Brockenhurst out to the former WWII airfield on Beaulieu Heath. We met loads of pony friends, including a foal with an adorably velvet…

Walking to Middle Earth and back again… a weekly check-in
I have been so tired lately. I’ve been going to bed early with the intention of reading, and just falling asleep on top of the book. So only one review posted last week; Afterlove by Tanya Byrne. I did finish reading the longest book on…
Out and about… a weekly check-in
I’ve had a weirdly busy week even by my pre-pandemic standards. Went out for a meal, had a work barbeque and braved Christchurch food festival, plus a long walk near Fordingbridge on Sunday. So with all that being out of the house, I didn’t write…
On My Radar: September
I’m going to be keeping the postie busy in September, I have at least nine of these on pre-order. I can’t wait to read the finale of the Gilded Wolves trilogy (cancelled pre-orders will not stop me!). I’ve already read my review copies of The…
