A rainy night. An accident, and life explodes around you.
And then your child is gone.
Or... is she?

👀 Spotted the latest novel in our reading nook, and the OH is half way through. It’s the first time he’s waited until a novel is published to read it, although he helps with a bit of plot bashing in the early stages. A painful wait for the verdict, but so far so good, he says. 👍🥰 #BookSky📚💙

What could be more autumnal than a chestnut festival on the shores of #LagoMaggiore? Insane queues for the roasted chestnuts and a few chess-nuts to pass the time on a sunny Swiss Sunday. 🌰🤎🇨🇭
