It seems that I am very random when it comes to picking up books.
We are just back from a weekend away in Wales, cutting the grass at our flat ... nope, the sale still hasn't gone through yet ... so we took advantage of the gorgeous weather and turned it into a weekend away.
Who doesn't love a sort of free holiday. 😀
The bible was a gift through the letterbox when we arrived at the flat, so I brought it home with me, the Lucy Mangan book was brought brand spanking new from Waterstones, when we called in the Llandudno branch for a coffee and a flapjack.
Then on Sunday morning, after breakfast at Tesco, we took a drive out to see our old homestead, and then visited Bodnant Gardens before we set off for home. Of course it would be rude not to partake of a coffee and a scone when you visit a National Trust destination ... and a peruse of the books on the shelves of the second-hand book room is obviously a must.
Freebies from Tesco café.
Little gifts ready for our soon to be born third great-grandson, there's something lovely about buying tiny clothes isn't there.
It was a good weekend, lots accomplished and wall to wall sunshine and blue skies.
And a friendly little chap that joined us for some scone crumbs.

'Bookish' is on my wishlist, also her previous book which I think is called 'Bookworm'.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is ... I'm half-tempted to buy myself a copy of that before I have even started on this one.
DeleteThat sounds like a wonderful weekend, your robin photo is gorgeous! I've wanted to visit Bodnant for ages! xxx
ReplyDeleteIt's well worth a visit if you're ever in North Wales. 😀
DeleteWhat a sweet little bird on that pot. Spring is truly here! 🪴
ReplyDeleteRobins are lovely little birds aren't they, and with such special meaning to their appearance. ❤️
DeleteBeautiful! I love seeing places some of my ancestors roamed.
ReplyDeleteThat's great, whereabouts in Wales were they from?
DeleteAlways lovely choosing special gifts for precious little ones
ReplyDeleteI just couldn't resist. Aren't tiny clothes lovely. 😀
DeleteGorgeous photos 😍 Many Congratulations on a third great-grandson🎉👶 I'm going to be a Grandma again in September, a little boy ❤️ Peter (Dad to be) had so many Peter Rabbit items🐇 I've always loved Peter Rabbit and I adore those two little outfits. Beautiful photo of my favourite bird "Robins appear when loved one are near"❤️
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, it's an exciting time isn't it. 😀 Yes, we've always said that about Robins. ❤️
DeleteI've read Bookworm and I'll now hop over to the library site and order Bookish so thank you for the mention of it.
ReplyDeleteBaby clothes are always lovely to buy - much more fun than buying clothes for old women!! ( that's me not you - you are still a young'un!)
Oh it's me as well don't worry. Having great-grandchildren ages me nicely. 😄
DeleteSounds like a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt was. Half a day of work on the garden, then the rest of the time to relax. 😀
DeleteAn exceptional weekend, and yes i do agree about tiny clothes, very sweet.
ReplyDeleteThey are ridiculously cute aren't they. :-)
