The Simple Woman's Daybook

 

FOR TODAY, July 16, 2019 

Outside my window ...

Its very overcast. But dry so far. You can tell it has rained during the night, but the birds are chattering and Mr. Woodpigeon is sitting on top of our rose arch awaiting his breakfast rather noisily cooing his very distinctive sound.  It never varies.  

I am thinking ...

How very grateful I am for modern technology. Yesterday Doug face-timed me from Tim Hortons where he was sitting with our Eileen. It was only a brief call and I was in my jim jams having just gotten out of the shower. So thankful for these kids of mine who always think of me and make the effort try to include me in their lives.

I am thankful for ...

The Forgotten Village, by Lorna Cook

1943: The world is at war, and the villagers of Tyneham are being asked to make one more sacrifice: to give their homes over to the British army. But on the eve of their departure, a terrible act will cause three of them to disappear forever.

 2018: Melissa had hoped a break on the coast of Dorset would rekindle her stagnant relationship, but despite the idyllic scenery, it’s pushing her and Liam to the brink. When Melissa discovers a strange photograph of a woman who once lived in the forgotten local village of Tyneham, she becomes determined to find out more about her story. But Tyneham hides a terrible secret, and Melissa’s search for the truth will change her life in ways she never imagined possible.

I only just started this last night.

 Corners of my Kingdom ...  

  

The Anchor, one of the oldest pubs in London, dating back 800 years. It was destroyed in 1666 during the great fire of London, but was rebuilt soon after.
