🤍

I was completely dazed by Rosamunde Pilcher’s 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒉𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝑺𝒆𝒆𝒌𝒆𝒓𝒔 when I first read it, more than, ehem, three decades ago. It was so different from what I was reading at the time and I was completely taken aback by the story and the vivid characters. From a reader’s perspective, it was a before and after experience!

To engage in a Pilcher novel was (is!) like being wrapped in your softest, favourite blanket; comforting and reassuring. Her stories are full of human warmth, complex characters –like 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍 people– and beautiful depictions of the Cornwall area (it’s still on my bucket list of places to visit thanks to her!).

Ah – don’t forget to stock up on tea before you start reading a Pilcher novel, in case you feel like making yourself a cup every time a kettle is put on in the story, you’ll need plenty!

Thank you Lucy @the_litedit for reminding me of a very dear and special author of cosy, quality feel-good books! 🙏🏻💙

Things that help you cope with the heat: * lemon

Things that help you cope with the heat:

* lemon sorbet
* fresh figs
* iced oat latte
* books about books (i.e. including bookshops, libraries…), ideally by a Japanese author and with a cat on the cover. ツ

Abraham Verghese’s novel is 715 pages long and I’m reading it s l o w l y, savouring every precious page! 🤍

(I know, not a very practical choice of a summer/beach read, it’s … heavy! ツ)

What are you all reading?

❀
Due to the extreme heat this summer, nothing blooms around here, so until I can pick and arrange my own flowers, I enjoy watching beautiful gardens and arrangements here on IG. ツ

Thank you for constant inspiration and eye candy, @thebelljarflowers , @alabasterfox (I need that bike!) and @blandblommorochglashus .🤍
