February 2022 round up

Posted on March 2, 2022 by Fiona

February has passed by pretty pretty quickly, even for the shortest month of the year. We are now into March, when the days definitely start to get longer, a little warmer, and hopefully a lot less windy! March is also … Continue reading →

January 2022 round up

Somehow it is not only 2022 but it is the end of the first month of 2022. What I have read I haven’t started off very well towards my goal of 100 books in 2022, in fact all month the … Continue reading →

November 2021 round up

Posted on December 1, 2021 by Fiona

It’s now officially the Christmas season, so that mean it’s time to look back at November. What I have read I started out well in November, reading several books in two days each, but then, again, I picked up something … Continue reading →

Posted on November 10, 2021 by Fiona

After a long time with no holidays during the pandemic, we not only had a week away in September but also a weekend in October! What I have read October was another slow-ish month for reading. I started one I … Continue reading →

September 2021 round up

Posted on October 6, 2021 by Fiona

In September we finally got to go away on our three-times rearranged holiday and we were lucky to have really good weather! What I have read I didn’t read a lot – I took my Kindle on holiday and attempted … Continue reading →

August 2021 round up

Posted on September 1, 2021 by Fiona

August was the month when the schools (and nurseries) went back and social distancing was generally scrapped, leaving us all in a bit of a no-man’s-land where nobody was sure what sort of distancing was polite. What I have read … Continue reading →

July 2021 round up

Posted on August 4, 2021 by Fiona

July brought a heatwave but also some very heavy rain and storms. What I have read I started out well in July but didn’t keep it up. Still, 10 books isn’t bad for during the school holidays! I’m now done … Continue reading →

June 2021 round up

Posted on July 7, 2021 by Fiona

June has been a better month, weather-wise. We’ve had some sunny days and even quite hot days, though it has been a bit mixed with chillier days in between. The schools – and nurseries – came off on Friday for … Continue reading →

May 2021 round up

Posted on June 2, 2021 by Fiona

Last month I predicted that the weather would turn sunny just as we were allowed to meet indoors again. I was wrong. Not only was it not sunny, it rained. And hailstoned. And rained some more.  What I have read … Continue reading →

April 2021 round up

Posted on May 5, 2021 by Fiona

“April showers bring May flowers,” is a well-known saying, but what do April and May showers bring, I wonder? I’m looking forward to May 17 when we can finally meet other people indoors again, but it’ll probably be gloriously sunny … Continue reading →

March 2021 round up

Posted on April 2, 2021 by Fiona

March brought some easing of restrictions (finally) and even a few days of sunshine. I’m looking forward to even less restrictions and hopefully more sunshine in April. What I have read I had another month where I felt I didn’t … Continue reading →

Two months of 2021 are now done and dusted and the light at the end of the tunnel is slowly growing along with the length of the days. What I have read I haven’t read an awful lot this month … Continue reading →

January 2021 Round Up

Posted on February 3, 2021 by Fiona

That’s the first month of the long-awaited 2021 over, and to be honest, it wasn’t any better than much of 2020, was it. What I have read I set myself a target of 100 books for 2021 and then proceeded … Continue reading →

December 2020 round up

Posted on January 6, 2021 by Fiona

November 2020 round up

Posted on December 2, 2020 by Fiona

The penultimate month of 2020 is over. I know things won’t immediately get better in 2021 but I know many of us are just sick of 2020 and there is at least some light at the end of the tunnel. … Continue reading →

October 2020 round up

Posted on November 4, 2020 by Fiona

My early draft of this post started with ‘this may be the last month that I’m not at work’ and I was right! What I have read I barely read anything in the first part of the month, partly as … Continue reading →

September 2020 round up

Posted on October 4, 2020 by Fiona

I can hardly believe that it is autumn already, even though it has felt quite wintry the past week. Not ideal when we are currently not allowed to meet anyone else indoors! I am still on furlough, though what will … Continue reading →
