Queen Victoria. In Manchester’s amazing public library called the John Rylands Library. (And we do happen to publish a good book on Victoria - see next post for unashamed promotion) And meanwhile, thank you Manchester! A very friendly, lovely experience and city to be in. Will be back! Your beautiful people, museums, library and city are stunning.

Easter - renewal. Rebirth. Calm. Eternity. Life. Peace. Tranquility. Not just chocolate. Not just baskets - and not egg or cat baskets. Love… friendship. Gifts. You can say it with a little book about cats, positive energy, taking a nap, a bit of solitude, a bit of love. This sweet funny book by Eleanor Abraham with pics by Mark Mechan may touch your heart and your funny bone

Bonnie Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond from the John Muir Way. Bit rough to cycle in lashing freezing rain but Robert Burns would no doubt have trotted along on his horse once or twice as he collected traditional Scots songs and made visits and he is always an inspiration. We know from letters he went to Luss and Arrochar for sure

Valentine’s coming up. Be good to yourself!
