9. Foxy light - Christmas present from Dave.
Thanks for all the nice comments and faves on yesterday's red library.
The Charlotte Bronte certainly looks well thumbed and it looks like you use your maps. I see you have one that covers Bedford where I live .. do you ever visit?
This is super. I'm not sure I could come up with that much orange in our house. Most of our OS maps are bright pink and on a quick glance of my books, there are not many orange ones! Great idea and a lovely pic, accompanied by an interesting narrative. Big fav.
@helenhall not often no. The last time I remember was a couple of music weekends in Ampthill but that's actually slightly off this map. It was probably for a long forgotten day walk or two. That one doesn't look all that well used!
@jamibann we have a few of the pink ones and as for books, we actually have 1000s so it's not too hard to find the right colours - time for a book declutter methinks 🤣
@stowgarden no it's sort of a hard plastic, it's actually one of those battery powered lights and glows orange. This is probably about a third of our maps - lots more from all over. Sadly we don't walk half as much as we used to.
