Books, bits, bobs and the occasional cat…
Good morning, bookworm, do come in and sit in your favourite chair. It’s the first time this year that I haven’t built up a cosy log fire and have opened the top stable door instead to hear the birdsong. Ah, I can see you’re looking puzzled by the sound of the sea despite being nowhere […]
Read MoreGood morning, bookworm! Can you believe it’s the middle of April already? Apparently the weather hasn’t got the message that it’s spring time yet and keeps surprising me with frost and snow. It’s even worse in my mystical library as the Weather Books have had yet another fall out with the Gardening Books, so they’re […]
Read MoreHello bookworm, it’s lovely to see you again! Please excuse the sand on the floor; I took a well earned break from my usual duties and, with the help of the Travel Books, visited many beautiful places. A benefit of being a Keeper of Books in a mystical library is I get to travel to […]
Read MoreHello bookworm, how lovely to see you so bright and early! The clocks sprung forward in the early hours this morning so I’ve made some extra strong coffee to help me adjust to it. I don’t know about you but I always feel a little discombobulated when I lose the hour to British Summer Time. […]
Read MoreGood morning, bookworm, do come in. Can I get you some hot toast with butter on? The dragons have been a little overactive with spring being in the air so I set them the task of toasting my bread. With any luck, they’ll wear themselves out while we sit and have a catch up. So, […]
Read MoreGood afternoon, bookworm, do come in. You’ll have to keep your eyes peeled as one of the dragons is rather over-excited by the blustery weather so keeps dive-bombing the bookshelves. This hasn’t gone down well with the books and they’re gathered in various corners, pages aflutter, to complain about the menace. Speaking of menaces, have […]
Read MoreGood evening, bookworm, do come in. Here, let me take your coat so the cats don’t lie on it and you get comfortable by the fire. Do you like the new forest green colour on the chimney breast? I had to go for a dark colour thanks to the dragons getting a little over-excited when […]
Read MoreWell hello, bookworm, how lovely it is to see you on this rainy January day! Come in and get dry by the fire. I’d say happy new year since this is the first visit of 2021 but that may be stretching the acceptable social conventions of that one a little too far since we’re almost […]
Read MoreGood evening, bookworm, do come in. Would you mind flicking the Christmas lights around the door, please? They’re a little temperamental, especially since the cats try and bat the lower bulbs. Ah, perfect! I love the different shadows and glow they cast upon the walls of my book nook; it looks rather artistic in a […]
Read MoreWelcome, bookworm, do come in. Can you believe we’re almost halfway through October? It’s my favourite season, full of snuggly blankets, hot chocolate and cosiness. Speaking of cosiness, I want to tell you about a book I’ve just read: It’s called Boomerville at Ballymegille and is written by Caroline James. Before I get to my […]
