What are you up to as we ease our way out of 2025 and into 2026? 
I did a full tidy up of my study, ready to start new projects and continue current ones. Today, I’m wrangling the dahlia garden thanks to a windstorm yesterday.
Your turn! 
It's the last Friday Book Club for 2025! What reads are you loving this week? And what have been some of your top reads this year?
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Merry Bookmas from us to you.
It’s been a tough year for our family with the sudden loss of our Dad earlier this year, so this is a strange season for us. Thank you for all your warmth and support.
We hope that however your year has been that this season is kind, and gentle for you.
