I’ve kept delaying posting because I was waiting for a sunny day to take photos. These days, the sun hasn’t yet come up when I leave for work, and it always seems to be a bit dull outside when I … Continue reading
Oops. Somebody spent five days in Frankfurt without remembering to say she was going. Anyway, the book fair this year can be counted as a success for us. Who makes such lovely books? Don’t you wish your books looked so … Continue reading
