Tea & a book.

A rather charming little tale about HM Queen discovering the library van. Written in the unique down to earth Alan Bennett style this is a book to be read on a pouring wet day in summer in front of the fire with a hot drink & a bag of Maltesers.

It will take you one afternoon, it's pretty short so consequently expensive for it's size ...perhaps a book to get from the library!!

I am posting early today as Harry & I are off to the Lake District for tonight & tomorrow. Staying with our UK family in Hawkshead.....forecast rain!!!

Not a very good photo as I have a light glare of the plastic tablecloth but never mind, am in a rush!!!

Looks like a lovely way to spend a rainy day. And don't worry about the glare - you need good light for reading!

[Cathy Donohoue]

What a nice shot. I think we could have a really nice afternoon putting our feet up and chatting and reading.

[Rick Schies]

It's a nice relaxing photo, and do enjoy your little get-away

[Jean Tookey]

Thanks. I need a new book on my Kindle. I'll hve to forego the Maltesers. Enjoy your break.

[Juliette Packham]

sounds like my day - lots of cups of tea and curled up with a good book...don't do it that often, and it's a good thing to do!!

[Graham Harcombe]

Lovely shot ...and we've plenty of rainy days to fill with reading!

[Gillian]

The perfect way to spend a lazy rainy day!

[Jane Pittenger]

Such a nice cozy feel to this shot

[Anna]

Very lovely time:)

[Sarah Bremner]

That's a brilliant book! And as one of our friends works on a library van which visits Balmoral we tease him about it!
Have a nice time away and hope the sun shines for you!

Nicely done! Have a great time.

Loving your Preston Guild bookmark! Lovely looking book - thinking I might buy it as a birthday present for my friend who loves Alan Bennett and then borrow it back! Cup of tea and packet of Matesers sounds like a perfect combo - we have a terrible weather forecast but so far it's mostly been threat rather than action.

[Sue Wilde]

I like the hominess of this shot

[BleakHounds]

Nice shot and a really good idea. Just wish I had time to put my feet up with a good book!

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Sounds an interesting read,,,,tea and maltesers sound good too....hard to believe how miserable June was. Hope you have fun and possibly a ray or two of sun in Hawkeshead. Enjoy!!

[Diana Moss]

This sounds an ideal way to forget the rain outside . hope you enjoy your trip and the weather bucks up fingers crossed !!
