How cruel to have to spend the day in front of a computer screen when mornings with coffee and books like this exist.

My sweet little bookshop @walbatrossbookshop.bsky.social turned one this weekend, and @pictongazette.bsky.social published this lovely piece today! pictongazette.ca/post/the-wan...
A newspaper article from the Picton Gazette dated April 30, 2025, features The Wandering Albatross, a bookshop in Bloomfield, Ontario, celebrating its first anniversary. The headline reads: “The Wandering Albatross – The Bloomfield book haven celebrates its first anniversary.” The article includes a photo of bookstore owner Lindsay Casey smiling while leaning on a wooden fence that has a painted sign reading “BOOKS” with an arrow, and a larger sign for The Wandering Albatross featuring the shop logo. The background shows bare trees and a clear blue sky.

Started this yesterday… very excited about it, I absolutely loved Chris Aslan’s older book, A Carpet Ride to Khiva. So far, this one is proving almost as difficult to put down!

I love the beauty and especially the sound of the ice, but very grateful to have power restored after 15 hours! What luxury to have the heat on and the kettle boiling. Not a bad thing to get a reminder of how lucky that is once in a while.

Been thinking a lot about this gravestone I spotted in St. Andrews, Scotland a few years ago.

It has been a day! But, if you have sorrows to drown, The Old Grainstore in Westport, Ireland is a great place to do it.

Last day in Adeje, Spain. My third time here, I think it’s becoming a habit... I’ll miss this being my morning commute. Next stop, Ireland for a few days, then back home to Canada next Friday.

Finished the Two Saints Way! I walked 150 km from Lichfield to Chester Cathedral, following the path of medieval pilgrims to St. Werburgh’s shrine. Climbed hills, crossed muddy fields, stayed in pubs, a vicar’s shed & a castle - hardest thing I’ve ever done & so worth it. #walking #pilgrimage

Ahh, how quickly I went from luxury castle accommodation to being trapped under a canal bridge in the pouring rain! Last day of my pilgrimage, honestly surprised it’s the first real rain I’ve had to deal with in 10 days walking.
