We go for a walk most days at Balmore Park in Reading. It's lovely. There's a small wood, a meadow, areas left wild, as well as a big mown grassy area. I was stopped in my tracks last night as the sun shone through the trees, intensely red & gold. & yes, that is a tree swing. A perfect spot for it.
Red gold sun shining through trees, casting a beam of sunshine onto the woodland floor. A tree swing hangs from one of the beaches. It is peaceful.

Absurdly picturesque view from the park in Salisbury, looking it to the flood plain. So beautiful
View from riverbank, looking over the river. In the foreground are bushes. On the river is a swan. In the distance, a field and a pretty, old building

I spent the afternoon at the National Gallery and found myself drawn to the painting of the oysters. I find it fascinating how food is depicted in art and the insight it offers into every day life at that time. So I had fun searching for more of this while I wandered around..

At booth 429, we're asking 'what is the most important type of grey literature for your library users?' If you're at #ACRL2025, pop by & add to the wall. If not, reply here. We'll share feedback with our editorial team so we can make sure our databases are as useful as possible for the community
Grid wall with a dry erase board with the question written on - What is the most important type of grey literature for your library users? There are multicoloured index cards hanging from the grid wall, for delegates to add their answers. One card says NICE guidelines. Another card says industry reports. The IFIS Publishing Booth at ACRL 2025. There are floor standing banners with information about how IFIS databases and free educational resources drive discoveries, education and innovation in food and nutrition. Here is a cafe table and chairs, and a table with giveaways and flyers on it

I had the gall to have a spicy pulled pork sandwich that Lucy couldn't have a bit of. She was not impressed

Spring flowers are so joyous & there a few trees I get particularly excited to see bloom each year. One is this very short tree in the local park which has the most extraordinarily wide & abundant canopy of blossoms. I like to crouch underneath & watch the industrious bees making the most of it
There is a short tree with very wide branches, covered in lots and lots of pale pink flowers. The tree is in a local park, situated on grass with some sparse trees and houses in the background.

Currently re-reading What She Ate, which was a very well-chosen gift & a book I highly recommend if you're interested in food history, women's history, etc. I enjoyed her chapter so much that I'm now reading my 1st Barbara Pym & loving it. I keep realising I'm smiling to myself while reading

The #ACRL2025 programme looks great. I'm looking forward to joining sessions when not in the booth. The session on Navigating Inclusive Collection Development: Strategies for Authentic Representation looks particularly interesting! If you're going, what session are you most looking forward to?
