A Happy Ending and a New Start

For those of you familiar with my on-going bathroom saga (I really should write a book about it – a very looong book involving leaky roofs, cracked walls, gorgeous plumbers…), I can now finally reveal that I’ve reached the happy ending! After several months of problem following upon problem, delay following delay, I now have a bright, shiny new bathroom that looks like it’s come straight out of an Ideal Home page – or a bijou version of it at least! My lovely little flat is really starting to feel like home, and I’m looking forward to finally having the time to catch up on some reading at the weekends rather than painting/packing/unpacking… First on my list is the wonderful War in Val d’Orcia by Iris Origo, which I’ve had on my bookshelf for longer than I’d care to admit and never found the time to read. Well, now’s that time. Especially as we are going to be reprinting it again soon with a fantastic new cover design. I’ve been told it’s one of the most moving and beautiful books A&B has ever had on its list. It sounds like an unmissable read (I’m appalled at myself for neglecting it this long), and I’m looking forward to finding out for myself just how fabulous it is…
