There used to be a naval training college in a small village near us. These war graves are in a tiny Suffolk churchyard. So many.

Normally when I go for a run I try not to stop (for fear of never getting started again) but this morning was too beautiful not to take a picture. I think today is going to be a good day 🤞#suffolk #hope

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. 😊
