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.

This is called the

My heart shatters like waves on the quay,
Leaving Stornoway, the ferry’s low plea.
