About me Firstly this is not a recent photo, it was taken in about 1963 when I was reading Camus, Gide, Sartre and their like who I have not read since. I was also reading T S Eliot, Ezra Pound and W B Yeats. I still read Yeats.
The Photograph was taken in an Orchard in Devon, England. There is now a supermarket where that orchard once was and I have become a middle class, middle-aged widow with two grown up children and a grandchild. I now live about ten miles from the lost orchard having returned to Devon after many years living in Wales.
About my library I have many books collected over the years. The subjects are Gardens and Garden History, Natural history, Science Travel, History, Fiction - both classics and modern, Drama, Poetry, Archaeology, Art and Art History, Textile Art.

You asked if I have connection to India (due to some books on my list), -- answer - none! I just developed an interest in reading about that part of world. Hope to read Kim soon and so forth.
Lovely photo that you have as your profile!

I see the CueCat has been swishing his tail again. The more you post, the more we seem to have in common, Judith ! Did you read 'People of the Book' yet ? What did you think of it ?? I have a hugely toothsome delight just arrived yesterday (in he nick of time as I was between good reads). It's Mary Doria Russell's new novel 'Dreamers of the Day' and I can hardly put it down
Hope all is well with you and yours

Whow you have been busy boosting your library catalogue. I can only guess that the CueCat is up and purrring. I've had no time for for my library - we had a tennis tournament over Easter so I've been out hitting the courts. I heard you all were having something of a cold snap. No such luck here where the fields are rapidly turning yellow-brown !
Hope all is well with you and yours

Sorry I took so long to reply - I don't log in here so often at the moment. A few months ago I decided I really wanted to read some Welsh fiction and came across this collection on the Welsh Book Council website. I was quite excited to find 'Urban Welsh' as it seems the majority of Welsh fiction takes place in the historical countyside. I also liked that it had up-and-coming writers - always exciting to read stories by new tallent. Anyway, I work in a bookshop here, so I ordered a copy in for my self. I'm quite enjoying the collection so far. Which is your daughter's story?
Silia.
