The Great Outdoors

It’s been a very warm winter here in the UK. Maybe Greta Thunberg is on to something with this global warming thing. Yesterday, snow drops appeared in my garden. These augurs of spring should not be emerging for quite some time yet.

And there was a mosquito in my house last night. I squashed it before I thought of taking a photo. And as I didn’t fancy having a squashed mosquito on my blog, you’ll have to take my word for it.

Despite the warm weather, it’s been cool enough in the evening to enjoy a fire. And there’ll be more what with colder weather on the way.

Last weekend I went up to the Fens in East Anglia. Even with the advent of Netflix and iTunes, nothing compares to the great outdoors. Below are swans in flight during the late afternoon.

A full moon followed.

Below is a Japanese-themed tea I enjoyed yesterday.

My first book of the year was The Rapture. It is about a cult. Not my typical reading fare, but I got it for Christmas. I would not hesitate in recommending this intriguing mix of fiction and non-fiction.

2020 has to date found me procrastinating, faffing around and not getting a great deal done. However, I have a new blurb and front cover on the way for Necropolis (#1 Necropolis Trilogy). I look forward to sharing them with you next Friday. Have a good weekend.
