Here Comes the Sun

Let the Sun Shine In
We've just enjoyed a gloriously hot week and each morning I've woken to bright sunshine. One of the beauties of living in a 1930's house is that we have original stained glass windows, and when the sun hits them, the effect is quite beautiful, as you can see from the picture of our hall window. It's hard to believe it was taken at 6 o'clock in the morning!

I love the fact that each stained glass window is an original design as the builder wanted every house to be different. It means that every day we can enjoy our own litte bit of Art Deco and that feels very special.

Garden Bookworm
My daughter is an avid bookworm, just like me, and once she starts reading, she finds it hard to stop. Today was another beautifully sunny day, so she took the opportunity to curl up outside in a deckchair and have a marathon reading session. She hardly moved all day and, yes, she did finish her book. I couldn't resist grabbing a snapshot of her. The title of the book? Lirael by Garth Nix. It's part of a trilogy and she's already read all three books once, but they were so good, she's reading them all again - that's a sign of really good story.
