Great photos Pauline. Penicuik House looks like an interesting place to visit.

Has anyone else read A Liar's Dictionary? I have just finished it and loved the quirky humour and the playing about with language and words. Two parallel stories - one about a lexicographer who puts non words into a dictionary and then someone in modern times set with the task of identifying them before the dictionary is digitised. It is of course about much more than that!! Anne, it's on its way to you this weekend!

We were lucky enough to be passing our local Alpaca Farm just an hour or so after this wee one was born.

I would recommend The Long Petal of the Sea by Isabelle Allende. It is a beautifully written story spanning 40 years, and taking us from Spain to Chile through the lifes of its characters. Although it is a novel it is set in factual history of the Spanish Civil War and the oppression in Chile. I couldn't put it down and was so disappointed when it finished!!

I have just finished The First Woman by Jennifer Makumbi. It is set in Uganda at the time of Idi Amin and is about a young girl discovering what it means to become a woman in a family, a community and a country determined to silence her. It is passionate and funny and heartbreaking and it makes you angry!

I loved Where The Crawdads Sing. Just finished Shuggie Bain - it is bleak but totally compelling.
