Visually impaired version! The early dark mauve-grey sky has slowly lightened to a lilac shade, with a soft, grainy look about it, like a pointillist painting. A couple of lazy seagulls are still slip-sliding about on the roof. #trishaashley #morning #trishaworld #blind #visualimpairment

I just finished the last book in the series and I’m going to miss barrister Matthew Shardlake so much. I know I could reread them all later but today I just feel kind of sad. #historicalfiction

Photo of Orion over Glastonbury Tor.
If you zoom right in on the right of the tower and just above there are what look like scratch marks all going in different directions. They are not on the shot before or after. For information, 10 second exposure. Do you think they are shooting stars?

Happy Friday!🥳🙌

This weekend, try to create some magic.✨

#GoodMorningBluesky #Booksky #Translators #Weekend #Motivation #PositiveVibes #TGIF

Be happy on purpose.
Go outside. Read a book.
Call a friend. Meditate.
Write in a journal. Eat good food.
Learn something new.
Express gratitude. Dance...
MAGIC is simple to create.

BOOK REVIEW

Within this book, the first of a six part series, you will find Anne Shirley, an orphan, being raised by Marilla Cuthbert and her brother Matthew. Learning quickly from the mistakes she makes, Anne grows from a teenager into a young adult.

A wonderful childhood memory
