Well that was quite a weekend. The Platinum Jubilee was quite a spectacle – and the weather in my part of the world was quite a ride! I had a good week in reading too – even if the rain showers meant I still haven’t got the hammock out. But that will come. Another week with a lot of authors I’ve read before in the list, but I’ve started some new to me authors too – including a few books from last month’s Books Incoming post.

One pre-order and one kindle purchase. Very restrained given I had a four day weekend!
Bonus photo: We went for a delightful wood around a forest near us on Friday – so here is part of my slice of the British countryside in early summer.
