Sunday morning ramble about these old Collins Crim

Sunday morning ramble about these old Collins Crime Club Agatha Christie editions. They remind me so much of my grandmother who was a huge Christie fan and had a shelf full of these. Even before I was able to read them I would stand in front of the shelf for ages, spelling out the titles - ‘N or M’ , ‘Five Little Pigs’ , ‘The Clocks’ - I was desperate to be old enough to find out what they were about. And once I started reading I was as hooked as my gran. I once failed a university interview because I was asked what I liked to read and I said Agatha Christie, the feedback being that I needed to develop my reading taste. So that worked out well. 😂These are not my gran’s originals, they disappeared long ago but I do still occasionally find them in charity shops and book sales which makes my heart gleeful! 💕 #collinscrimeclub #agathachristie

Warning. Sunday morning nostalgia post. Just about to paint this old bookcase when I realised I
can see all the layers of paint from the many times I’ve painted it before. It was in my bedroom as a child when it held an extremely closely guarded collection of Famous Five, E Nesbitt and later Alan Garner novels. As a teenager I glossed it bright red to do proper eighties justice to Emily Bronte, Agatha Christie and Virginia Andrews 😂 Then at uni I painted it primrose yellow while it groaned under the weight of Dickens, Wolf and Orwell. It was blue when it was in my kids’ room - Fireman Sam, Roald Dahl and Jacqueline Wilson, and white when in my office crammed with ‘How to be a better writer’ books. I’m painting it a nice grown up cream for a halfway up the stairs Golden Age crime collection. Quite glad I’ve always been too lazy to paint the back so I can remember where it’s been. 😊

For my brother’s seventh birthday, my mum made him a train cake (that’s me on the right, trying and failing not to look jealous). This year, for his 51st, she recreated it 😂😂 She’s getting very bored in lockdown. #lockdownlife
