The Joys of Armchair Travel
After having to cancel a planned mini-break in Bruges due to illness, I’m now settling down into near-hibernation mode for the winter, at least in terms of travel. Not that I have travelled much this year, with short breaks in Norfolk and Scotland. Even so, I’m glad to raise my metaphorical drawbridge and spend a few months on my home turf.

| One of the many things I enjoy about this series is the way it transports the reader to many different settings in medieval society, and this one takes us to Bremen, a city I visited for the first time a few years ago and really loved, so it was fasc ...more | |

| Highly entertaining, quirky cosy mystery set in a university where there are some decidedly dodgy goings on. Lots of great one-liners that made me laugh aloud, and I also enjoyed the 80s setting, not least because I was in my prime then! A very funny ...more | |

| An engrossing read that reminded me of why I love Somerset Maugham so much - compelling flawed characters in challenging situations and vivid settings, this time set in London, colonial Hong Kong and China with a shallow, spoiled young society woman ...more | |

This is a beautiful, slow-burn story of one man's struggle to sustain his African farm, in the face of diversity. The name of the farm, Alkubelan, is thought to be an ancient name for the African continent - but even if I hadn't known that, I'd still ...more |
