A Year in Books

My absolute, hands-down, top pick of the year

🠋

 

This year there were more 'couldn't read, not for me'-books than ever before. I've always struggled with not having finished a book, but I'm learning that it's okay! I did manage to complete 67 though (unless there were some I forgot about), so there's that.

Isfryn in Llanfyllin

Dale found this aerial view of our new village in Wales (Llanfyllin) by Oswestry photography. I've marked the location of our house, Isfryn, with a small white arrow.

As you can see, we are on the outer edges of the village.

2026:
New habitats to explore, 
New trails to discover, 
New friends to meet.

The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new' (Socrates)
