And cutting them to size which as you remember on our play day, took FOREVER just to get one the right size! I kept going while I was in the correct cutting rhythm ....

My book of the year last year "All that I Am" by Anna Funder (Australian, also linked to WW2). I wanted to email her and say thank you for writing this book. Oh and another Australian beauty - "Burial Rites" by Hannah Kent - set in Iceland tho - it is beautifully written and you do care for the characters. Maybe when it's dark and cold in winter you can sit and read...?Fiona Dempsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275413906419343228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-23396530391014788592013-09-29T19:56:22.677+10:002013-09-29T19:56:22.677+10:00Hi Anna - it is in a way isn't it?

I was so involved in the book I was drained at the end of it. Any more recommendations of that sort?LAC EMP 2020https://www.blogger.com/profile/01999825212820503519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-86902414877048091732013-09-27T06:16:29.702+10:002013-09-27T06:16:29.702+10:00What a beautiful misty view!
