A new blogging challenge – blogs in 2025 inspired by the books I’m reading.

4 Hours in Paris (Airport)

Changing planes in Paris. Four hours to fill. Listen to a book. Take a walk. Visit an art gallery. Go window shopping. Time’s up!

A birthday trip to Derby – we packed a lot into 19 hours.

Pandemic flashbacks – good and bad. And some pretty pictures of cherry blossoms.

Reading without distraction – the perfect place, time and book. The Forest is the Path was just what I needed to read this week.

Re-reading a book that was first published in 1996 – and wallowing in nostalgia for early travels and London-living.

You have exactly the right experience for the task ahead of you.

A challenge within the challenge – 12 Agatha Christie books to read in 2025. It’s great to spend time with old friends.

Craving a day and place that’s quiet and peaceful – I wish I had a reading nook (and the time to read) all the time!

Sometimes, holiday highlights come in unexpected and unplanned ways – holiday highlights part 2.

In celebration of Melbourne – the perfect backdrop to a wonderful trip. Holiday highlights part 1.
