Retired civil servant😊. Like to travel. Used to be an avid reader but covid impacted on that - slowly getting my reading mojo back. Enjoy the theatre, music and eating out.

Enjoyed @allangaw.bsky.social first Dr Jack Cuthbert book so much that I have bumped the second in the series to the top of my very large tbr pile😄. Sitting comfortably in a Cafe Nero with a coffee, so I shall begin😆.

Have a ticket for Bloody Scotland Debut Prize Panel at the Sept. Festival. Have several piles of tbr books but that didn't stop me buying the finalists' books😆 - including @davegoodman.bsky.social

If you could retweet my tweet below linking to my Etsy shop (2025 half calendars, July-Dec) it would put my shop in front of more eyes and would help more than you know. I'd appreciate it so much. Thankyou 🌿
My Etsy shop's now open for a v. limited print run of half calendars of my tiny posy & botanical photos.
I design my photos using recent neuroscientific research so that looking at them alleviates stress & lift mood.
Each calendar=6 very high quality frameable prints:

Picked up my November and December @scottishbooktrust.bsky.social books today (have been travelling). Top two selected by @sarasheridan.bsky.social and bottom two by @valmcdermid.bsky.social. All four look really interesting so looking forward to reading them.

Just finished reading Matrix by Lauren Goff which I thoroughly enjoyed. A scottish book trust bookclub pick by @sarasheridan.bsky.social and now moving on to something completely different Strange Sally Diamond by Liz Nugent which is @valmcdermid.bsky.social pick.

It would be so great if you could RT my Etsy shop in the twoots below/above. My🌲 jewellery orders usually make up a significant part of my income at this time of yr but the X exodus has meant I’ve only received 1 order-pretty scary income-wise. A small boost would help so much. Thankyou🌿

My first month's subscription (times 2) from the Scottish Book Trust a brilliant charity. Matrix was selected by @sarasheridan.bsky.social and Strange Sally Diamond by Val McDermid. Looking forward to reading both books.
