A great idea for your community of beloved readers to contribute. I loved the Wind in the Willows reference also special that the book was your Fathers edition. All your posts YouTube, Instagram ,Bracken and Wrack are mini works of art so enjoyable and full of honest from the heart words.

Denise, truly your words are balm to the heart! Thank you so much. Yes, it's a lovely edition of Wind in the Willows and the one I remember always being on the shelves during my childhood. The dust jacket was so torn that I removed it when I brought it here, but the design on the hard cover is delightful and I'd never seen it before. Coloured and embossed willow boughs, and Mole, Ratty and Mr Toad having a chat underneath!

I’ve also wondered for years about the semicircular Moon being the ‘quarter’ and never sought the answer--thank you for providing it! 😃

Ha - we're birds of a feather Meredith! I can't believe it took me this long to actually find out, but now that I have I'm happy to be able to pass on the answer :)

The first book that was well and truly mine alone, rather than my older siblings, was The Wind in the Willows, a Xmas present from my grandmother in 1963. Pleased to become a paid subscriber!

I’m re-reading all the posts now. Sitting in my cosy cottage, fire burning, wrapped up under a blanket. I love the idea of a travelling hearth cloth. Are any still available. ? Perhaps I could save 🙏🏻💫
