I'm sure that he will enjoy home time. I haven't read William Trevor so I shall look for his books. Guess what! I'm in Victoria during your cottage week. We'll try for February.

Fall is a perfect season to make this transition, I'd say. . . just enough outdoor work to keep you out in the garden when the weather's fine, but not so much that you can't hunker down with a good book whenever you want. I haven't read William Trevor for years -- thanks for reminding me! Once upon a time I read Felicia's Journey -- oh, and also The Story of Lucy Gault -- with a book club. Very good, although sad. . . <br />Oh, and thanks for the Graham Thomas photos -- I do love that rose!materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-2818320177730941612021-10-05T04:18:02.663-07:002021-10-05T04:18:02.663-07:00Here in Central New York, fall arrives quickly.

Trees and sky surround us and I can’t wait to see the show. I love seeing your flowers and beach views. Such a lovely location. Have you been able to read Louise Penney’s latest? Unfortunately, I am 16th on the library list. <br /><br />Congratulations, Mr. HB. Retirement is wonderful.
