I’m reading a book that I bought for literally pennies in a 2nd-hand bookshop. Nobody wanted it because it was falling apart.
But reading #ElizabethJaneHoward #TheSeaChange, I feel I should’ve insisted on paying more because, as ever, her work is priceless & I, like the novel itself, am in pieces

Good morning 😀 Here's your weekly #BlueskyMonday artwork and digital jigsaw puzzle

🧩 bit.ly/BlueskyJigsaws 🧩

'The Mausoleum of Plautus Lucanus' by David Roberts

Roberts was a Scottish painter who initially worked painting scenery for theatre productions.

#Art #landscape #puzzle #game
A pastoral landscape features a group of cattle grazing near villagers and hay bales. In the background, a large, pink medieval fortress stands beside a bridge over a small, flowing river. Rolling hills and a bright, cloudy sky complete the scene.
