Hello WOYWWers, Followers, Everyone,
On the desk this morning is the February introduction page for this year's album. As usual, I've chosen a few photos that serve as a reminder of just some of what happened that month. Scattered about are some bits and bobs I might add to the pockets, There's a pack of photos waiting to be dated and filed away until I'm ready to make pages with them. The book that can be seen just off to the right is one I've just finished reading. More about it later.
I've been able to not just work in the garden now but spend time relaxing in the summerhouse. I use the spotty bag to transport the memoir I've been struggling to finish since January, notebooks I jot stuff in, pencils, one of my favourite mugs and the flask containing a latte until I'm ready to drink it.
Silver takes up residence in the spotty bag whenever it's empty. She's not fussy. Anywhere will do, even when it's been left on the ironing board. Oh, and those towels - I spotted them in Asda and just could not resist that gorgeous peach colour!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book,
The Good Father by
Liam McIlvanney. I love a good mystery. A couple living a normal, happy, almost idyllic life in a house on a beach in a friendly little Scottish village,
Fairlie, with their much loved seven year old son and a dog. Sounds perfect until one day the son, while playing on the beach, disappears! From there the story takes us through the aftermath with some unexpected twists and turns that I certainly didn't expect. What made it all the more interesting to me is that Fairlie is just up the coast from where I am now. The villages & towns, landscape and places mentioned are familiar to me. Even the village my daughter lives in gets a mention. Although the author now lives in New Zealand, he was born and grew up in Ayrshire so he knows the area well. If, like me, you enjoy a gripping good read then I'd recommend this book.
Finally, a few of the funnies I've collected this week.
To see more creative workdesks pop over to Sarah's blog,
Sarah's Craft Shed. If you don't already do so, feel free to join in the fun and show us what's on your workdesk this Wednesday. You'll be made most welcome.
Have a great WOYWW day and a fabulous week everyone,
Take care everyone,
Elizabeth

Love the Tips from the Cat and Downton Abbey - hilarious!
I love the thought of you taking your little bag to the summerhouse with your drink and other bits and bats you might need. What a great idea and what a lovely way to spend your time in a nice cosy environment. Bet it is nice and warm in there.
You are so organised with your scrapping.
Hugs, Neet xx 1
Love the funnies especially Downton Tabby. So lovely that you can enjoy your garden and that book sounds a good read. It's always good to know a bit about the area they are describing.😃x x Jo 🌈

That bag looks ideal to take things to your summerhouse. Thanks for the book recommendation. Happy woyww Helen #2
Love the spotted bag, specially one with Silver inside! Great funnies, Downtown Tabby is a hoot! Happy WOYWW. Angela #10
Oh my new album has started with March as it happens. Do you scrap current photos chronologically like me perchance with older photos dotted in the mix as and when? Love the spotty bag and the Summer House excursions, might need to go see what our Asda has towelwise now LOL. Oh and the book sounds brill. Not managed to read a book in years (except the Bible) I tend to buy and they just gather dust but I used to and that genre is just my thing....Just found it on spotify, will have a listen. I get 15 hours a month and it resets on 1st. The book is only 12hrs 42 mins - LOL and I've only use 1 this month. Thanks Elizabeth Hugs BJ#8
Lots to smile about here today. the spotty bag looks useful too. Wishing you a happy woyww. Hugs Angela x11x
I love how you take that bag of goodies to your summerhouse to relax, and Silver obviously loves it too! Always love a book recommendation, and the funnies 😂 xxx
Love the cat funnies Elizabeth. Silver seems right at home in that bag. Glad you are able to relax in the summer house a bit more. Always a good read when the author sets a book in the local area and knows it well. Meow to Silver. Stay safe and Happy belated WOYWW. Sarah.
Oh the cat funnies make me smile, as does Silver's favourite spot. I love a good mystery myself, so will file this away for a future read. The week got away from me!
Happy so late WOYWW!
