On the eve of execution, the condemned of Revolutionary France were often given paper, ink, and a few hours to say goodbye. No speeches were allowed. No appeals were heard. The blade would fall whether the words were written or not. And so bakers, seamstresses, priests, clerks,…

Lovely to spend time with my otter family this afternoon 🦦 the little ones are getting bigger and much better at swimming since I spotted them all a few weeks ago. A happy Saturday indeed ☺️ #OuterHebrides

Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries: “It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use…

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas & a happy, healthy New Year. It's chaos here with a house full of excited little ones. Cards are unwritten, there are presents to wrap & food to be prepped, so slightly ahead of schedule, here's a Red River Croft midwinter dawn specially for you!
