A Walk Through Camden Passage in Angel

closer to home

We didn’t want to go too far afield today because we had to pick up Sevin from school. After a good hearty breakfast at the flat we headed out to catch the #4 bus to Islington Green.

We stopped in Waterstones bookstore to look around and purchased a couple of paperbacks. After that we were desperate for a coffee and we stopped at the same coffee kiosk that we went to the last time we were here. Once we were satisfactorily caffeinated we continued our journey down Camden Passage.

We stopped in a great cheese store and purchased some yummy cheeses made in Britain. One of the cheeses, the cheddar to be exact came from a dairy in Devon. The cheese monger told us that he had been to that dairy and he claimed that the owner knew her cheese as well as she knew her cows. She has a herd of over 100 cows and she has named each one.

Before heading home to pick up Sevin we stopped at Cass Art to pick up more sketchbooks and watercolour paper. All in all a very enjoyable afternoon.

Seven Crime Novels

thanks to Becky B for hosting Seven for September Squares Challenge https://thesquaresofb.com/2024/09/22/seven-squares-22/

Visiting our local library this past week I noticed a table set up with a selection of crime novels. Did I choose one? No, even though I like reading this genre of book, I passed this time. I have two books on the go and I have six books on hold.

Thursday Trios – Gourds and Books

As the weather starts to cool, I’m more inclined to don a warm cozy sweater, make a cup of tea, find a comfortable chairs and start reading. Here are the next three books on my reading list. The gourds decorate my dining room table at the moment.

Day 26 – Books Waiting to be Read

thanks to Leanne Cole for hosting the 30 Day at Home Challenge

I thought I would get a lot of reading done during this pandemic but I seem to be busy doing other things, like baking, cleaning, blogging, playing piano, making art, walking the dog, connecting on-line through WhatsApp, Zoom and House Party and watching TV. I better get busy because I have to read at least one of these books before May 8 which is when our next on-line book club meeting is.

The first set of books are some of my art reference books, which I look at periodically.594-ACBEE-FCD4-4193-B365-8-F6149-CD9-F5-C
