Despite 8yrs in the UK, I believe this is the #one and only European robin I've seen. I didn't even realise it was a robin at the time as until recently I thought Brits just really liked drawing strange chubby robins at Christmas 😬

Discovering another wonderful local woodland this morning - this is Frithsden Beeches (and what a wonderful name too). So many lovely marcescent leaves to give some colour, and of course the fog was much appreciated :)

📖: The King Must Die by Kemi Ashing-Giwa
Genre: Fantasy/Science Fiction
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Thoughts: I wanted this to capture me but it didn’t and I’m not sure why. May have been better if we could have sat with our characters a bit more.

Thoughts: These stories explore women and the societal and family expectations they face. I’m so glad they were finally translated into English.
