OK - so my Muse seems to have left me

NO inspiration ... ( sand and cement was for a new rockery by the way)

Having a break - but should I just give up ?

You could e-mail me (susan.ellwood@ymail.com) if you would like me to resume when I get back from 'Sunny Blighty'

Thank you for your support - I just liked the idea of giving some people a smile....

Man Booker - 2

The Lighthouse by Alison Moore
Err...  Strange
The reader is left to assume the ending I think
Lots of smells .............

Man Booker Prize 2012

This is the first of the 6 shortlisted books that I have read
Beautifully written, I think
A stunning story about Henry VIII & the fall of Anne Boleyn
But mainly about the role of Thomas Cromwell
Recommended, but sorry I read it on Kindle

How scary does this look
And how unlike Lefkada
Will the BBC scare away the few remaining tourists?

Book Club

I found this surprisingly enjoyable
Typical Dan Brown but streets ahead of 'Da Vinci Code' in my opinion
(A tatty copy but I still have it if anyone would like it)
