Welcome to Litsy!

A couple of my current vintage reads.

The Golden Collar (originally published in 1955 as The Smith‘s Hoard and then as Hidden Gold) is a children‘s holiday story. A brother and sister go to spend some time at their great aunt‘s house and end up finding an Iron Age hoard. I‘m always down for a good hoard!

Thrush Green gets a new inhabitant in the form of a woman with a young son - widow, divorcee, or separated is a mystery.

Another nostalgic trip back to the 1960s to catch up with the lives of the inhabitants of Thrush Green.

‘It reminds me,‘ said the doctor ruminatively, ‘of the remark made by Dr Thompson, of Cambridge, sometime in the last century. He said of Richard Jebb: “The time that Mr Jebb can spare from the adornment of his person, he devotes to the neglect of his duties.”

A few things I‘m looking forward to this month:

1. Catching up on the #MissReadalong discussion. I‘m so enjoying each novel we‘ve been reading monthly.
2. Creating new spreads for my journal (the one pictured is a favourite from last month).
3. Receiving photos and Skype calls of my adorable niece, who was born last week.
4. All the little signs of spring that are finally popping up.

What are you looking forward to this month?

This is one of my favorite audiobooks. It has helped me get through many sick days and sleepless nights. Set in an English village. Excellently read by Gwen Watford. #fiction #audiobook #england
