Happy #ChristianAidBookSaleEve to all who celebrate!
The book elves have been hard at work these last few weeks sorting, sifting, pricing and arranging the monumental piles of bound and printed goodies for sale, as they have most every year since it all began way back in 1973 📚🧝

Did you see that there are food shortages in Germany? German government is now advising people to stock up on cheese and sausages.

My heart shatters like waves on the quay,
Leaving Stornoway, the ferry’s low plea.
Each swell a lament, each ripple a shard,
Lewis’s embrace slips from my guard.
Through salt-streaked glass, the grey winds moan,
A fractured love borne on tides unknown.

Little did I know where I played my rugby as a lad had such history.
Former gates to Wardie Playing Fields, where generations of school kids have loved or loathed playing cold and muddy games of football and rugby; had their sports day or endured the dreaded "cross country" runs. But there's a bit more to this place than just 14 acres of windswept turf 🧵▶️ ...
