Last weekend saw the 45th London Marathon take place. This inspirational event saw over 56,000 runners cross the finish line in the Mall. I love watching this amazing event

On a visit to see her, and after the day where we accidentally climbed an Alp ('20 more minutes...."), we enjoyed a blissful day at the Caillier chocolate factory

I love this time of year for the number of Bank Holidays that crop up. This week is Easter, and this means a lovely long weekend. I have started a book that deserves to be savoured and enjoyed,

And Saturday saw a very early children's birthday party and a catch up with Team Yorkshire at my lovely in-laws.

Like many people at the moment I have been enjoying the latest series of Death in Paradise, the gentle crime drama of seemingly impossible murders taking place on the beautiful island of Saint Marie

The White Rose Book Cafe in Thirsk is currently celebrating it's 30 years anniversary. Spread over 2 floors and with a cafe selling tasty cakes and treats, the events programme is to be envied.

We had a busy weekend, but had a very relaxing Sunday complete with a roast chicken dinner and lots of curling up on the couch together with Hattie.

Twice a year I like to list out my To Be Read Pile on the blog. I would like to say it keeps me accountable, but who am I kidding. I do love to have a small selection of books to choose from when selecting my next reads.
