I hear you, Edna.📚

I already have the bookshelf but my next-door neighbours keep threatening to call the police. Apparently, the ‘secret room’ needs to be on my side!🤷‍♀️🙄

Visually impaired version! A heart-lifting early deep indigo sky, set with too many bright, bright stars to count. Now it has grown prettily marbled in dove grey over steely blue and the birds are stirring in the hedges. #trishaashley #morning #trishaworld #blind #visualimpairment

Visually impaired version! When I first got up, the sky towards the mountains was blackberry dark and clear between two milky curtains of cloud, as if they had been drawn back just so I could have an inspiring glimpse of the multitude of bright stars. #trishaashley #morning #trishaworld #blind

We had this beautiful weather as we started coming home today. Then we got near to here it was grey and bucketing down. What have we done to upset the weather gods?
Empty road with a clear blue sky, some white clouds visible overhead. Winter trees line the side of the road and there are powerless lines overhead. Looking across behind bushes to St Bartholomew's Church in the village of Tong, Shropshire, England Autumnal forest, trees have shed their leaves, carpeting the ground, blueskiesshjne through the upper branches. Large English oak tree in the middle of a green field with blue skies behind.

Visually impaired version! I woke early to the sound of hammering rain, but now the storm grey clouds are marbled with shining steel-blue and there is a tentative twittering from the hedges. #trishaashley #morning #trishaworld #blind #visualimpairment

I’m busy baking cakes for tomorrow’s event at Cheadle Hulme library (3pm). This is the fruit cake Jack makes for Amélie when they’re snowed in and the recipe is in my book Christmas at the French Repair Shop.

The Christmas Retreat
by Trisha Ashley

My 5⭐️ #BookReview is attached in 2 parts showing my book review, I couldn’t fit it into just one, it’s just so good. It can be read in the ALT text.

#BookSky #Christmas #Book
book cover of The Christmas Retreat by Trisha Ashley with tree decorations in the form of a striped red and white candy cane with the words Merry Christmas. A lady in a Welsh costume and silver tree with the words Nadolig Llawen . With silver cone and flower and gold and green decorations above. my five star book review part 1 is below This is a wonderful storyline once more from Trisha Ashley whose characters spring to life from each page, and was so good that I was riveted to the final outcome of both Arwen and Ginny’s stories. I love that it is set in the North Wales area in a small hamlet of Seren Bach and love the character of Nerys who runs the writing Christmas retreat that Ginny and her mother Evie both attends in Evie’s case to locate more information about women painters who had lived in the area and in particular one artist. The interactions within the household are a delight with lots of different characters including Rhys, Cariad, Kate, Opal, Pearl and Verity. part 2 is within the next photograph showing my review. My book review part 2 is below There is a poignant heartbreaking story which runs throughout, as well as romance and Christmas vibes and indulgences and the creative spark invigorates everyone at the retreat. There’s revelations in the new year in abundance, as well as a few unsavoury characters and truths. You won’t want it to end as always it’s just so good, there’s some references to spot to other books written by Trisha Ashley which I love to see, and also includes some lovely recipes too as an added bonus to a wonderful read.

It's Stir up Sunday but, as I wasn't here to soak the ingredients last night, I'll soak them tonight and make the pudding tomorrow. 8 hours is always such a lot of steaming! As you can tell, this recipe has been well used over the years.
Page one of Delia Smith's Christmas recipe for Traditional Christmas Pudding, well thumbed. Page tow of Delia Smith's recipe for Traditional Chroatmas pudding and Cumberland run butter. The page is well thumbed and contains remnants of previous years puddings!

Visually impaired version! The early sky was a milky purple with just one low, bright star to welcome me home. Like the mountains, the rest of the winter stars were hidden, but I knew they were there. #trishaashley #morning #trishaworld #blind #visualimpairment
