I am really enjoying Anne O' Brien's historical fiction books. This is the story of Lady Katherine Swynford who becomes the mistress of John of Gaunt.

This is a lovely book which I was given as a present by my daughter. Now I have read it I am keeping it at the caravan.  The book is full of delightful water colour illustrations by a Victorian naturalist and mycologist. Very little is known about the author.

It is always good when a new Vera Stanhope novel by Ann Cleeves appears. This was a great book full of suspense.

I have finally started to enjoy this Dorset crime series.

In fact I enjoyed it that much I immediately read the next in the series!

This is a book of poems from A E Houseman and beautiful photos by John Hayward which I have been reading at the caravan.  I found the poems very poignant but sad and the photos are a delight.

The next in the Cadfael series was really good. I haven't seen the tv series which is probably for the best I find. I prefer to imagine the characters in the books myself.

The next Anne O'Brien novel I read is the story of Joan of Kent.

Forgotten Churches is a charming book with wonderful drawings. The author writes about some of his favourite churches not in any  detail but he does give some history of the church and area and the features in each church which stand out.

I always enjoy the Wesley Peterson books by Kate Ellis. Sadly, I think I am nearing the end of the series.

All photos taken by me with the Panasonic Lumix FZ330 bridge camera. (I don't particularly rate my photos but if anyone wishes to use one of mine or my son's I would appreciate an email first - thanks)
