Welcome to Litsy!

#Naturalitsy #Midwintersolace

Thank you so much for all your lovely cards, messages and gifts. These have really lifted my spirits this week. We are most definitely doing this again. I send warm wishes and much love to you and yours over the holidays.
Merry Christmas x

Week 1 of #midwintersolace finds me working on reflection, feeling the urge to nest and hibernate grow but having work and life on a see saw. Today I‘m working- and then getting my daughter from the airport! I‘m excited and hopeful and have more emotions than i can express.

Any Littens live near Southwold, Suffolk England???
I could really use your help...

After reading The Franchise Affair by Josephine Tey in April, I decide to pull this book featuring Josephine Tey as a sleuth. It is part of a series of her adventures. I have read 2 others over the years. #serieslove2023 #goldeagecrimeclub

I loved this book. Many ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Popped into a very stately home in the next village to ours - we were there for the celebrations, but on returning home I see 90% of my photos are of the gorgeous inlaid walnut and cherry bookcases lining the library walls!

Blaxland's voice is loud in this book - rightly so, as it's all about her house and a year living in it. She's forthright and opinionated, giving lots of fodder for opposing views, spectrums of agreement and healthy debate. The book is wide in scope - giving us a taster of the microcosm of wildlife, sky, characters and the rhythm of country life as she waits of the cliff to recede and her home to be taken by the sea.

Spending the afternoon re reading a book in pre for a ‘Literary Lunch with the author next week!

Another day, another book. #porchlife

A sad but quietly lovely, book about a father and son still reeling after the death of their wife/ mother a decade earlier. Anger, blame, sadness, love, and regret tinge every page.
