So that's 1 in the Summer House, 1 by the bath, another by the loo and ……….. 

I finished a book written by Emma Milne, one of the Vets in the 'vet school' BBC series of the 1990s.  Humourous.

Have recently read several books about WWII - escapes, internment etc.; am trying to wade through one about an escape route over the Pyrennes which is walked annually to remember those who did/not reach safety.  But it is HARD going.  I plan to take these books to the National Memorial Arboretum where there are areas for each Force involved in Wars.

I began a book about John Lennon this afternoon whilst sitting in the  , written by his half-sister.  I think it's going to be a page turner, I was never a Beatles fan but the story should be interesting.

John Lennon was my hero,I had a very poignant moment when I visited Strawberry fields in Central park and then stood in the doorway of the Dakota building where he lived and was saddly killed

I have just finished reading 'Shop Girl A memoir' by Mary Portas.
I could relate a lot to it as she wrote about her life growing up in the 60s & 70s.
A very honest and funny book. Very enjoyable.

I missed responding to the 1st post on this thread: I have nearly all the Derek Tange books [pity I can't spell  ] including the 1 about how he met his wife.  Loved them all.

For months I've had a quote in the back of my mind and recently I found the book from which it is from:

"Make the best decision you can with the information you have at that time.  At that time is the critical part …… You can drive yourself crazy saying 'If only we had known this, if only we had known that'.  The point is, you didn't know, so just keep telling yourselves, 'We did the best we could with what we knew'."

Quote taken from Hannah's Gift lessons from a Life Fully Lived, written by her Mother, Maria Housden.  ISBN 0 00 714203 X
