Driving over Lemons ... written by a witty Englishman who buys a (very) peasant farm in the south of Spain. Loving the stories of rural life, subsistence living and learning on the hop - very amusing and worth a read!
selvedge magazine ... the latest copy of my favourite textiles magazine arrived in the post yesterday. I haven't devoured it all yet, but the article on vintage clothes pegs was wonderful (and obtuse!).
The World ... trying to teach Mr 4 about distance, countries and the world. It's been ages since I've looked at a map like this (or an atlas for that matter), so it's been fun finding "new" and unfamiliar countries.
What are you reading? Hope your Wednesday is shaping up just how you like it!

I like the sound of that book! It's interesting seeing your little ones trying to comprehend the reality distance. We found that with our 8 year old it road trips and getting him to read the map with us really helped.
I'm reading the Country Style Mag and bits and pieces of Shakespeare's works... in using them in my furniture pieces lately I've been drawn to actually reading them again.
I am reading 'The Art of Possibility' by Rosamund and Ben Zander. He brings a different take on the art of being a conductor..orchestral, an intriguing book though I don't agree with all of the philosophy! I like the look and sound of 'Driving Over Lemons'..and the name of the title!
We had the world map out today for my Mr 4. A drummer from Ghana came to kindergarten today so we were looking at where that was (and where all our relatives live over the globe). Much fun!
"Driving over Lemons" gives me a giggle, must check that one out.
I'm reading the latest Gardening Australia Magazine with a Kaffee Fasset book on the side
just pulled driving over lemons off the shelf for a friend recently. may have to revisit it when she's done. xo
