Notes from the Slow Lane: May 2015
http://notesfromtheslowlane.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Notes from the Slow Lane. Saturday, 30 May 2015. The Year in Books: May. This month we have a book on a slightly different topic, Toynbee Hall: The First Hundred Years by Asa Briggs and Anne Macartney. For years I have seen references in various books to the settlement movement or university settlements, without truly understanding what they meant, so I went looking, which led me to Toynbee Hall and this book. Samuel and Henrietta Barnett, painted by Hubert von Herkomer. The year in books. I am at a loss...

Notes from the Slow Lane: The Year in Books: April
http://notesfromtheslowlane.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-year-in-books-april.html
Notes from the Slow Lane. Thursday, 30 April 2015. The Year in Books: April. Finally I am up to date - just about! This month's book is another I have listened to while knitting, Doctor Thorne. I would heartily recommend the Barchester Chronicles. Which is well worth a listen. Audio books from Audible are, incidentally, far cheaper if bought using their credits system. In the meantime I am making a start on the fourth novel in the series, Framley Parsonage. The year in books. 1 May 2015 at 22:33. Its qui...

Notes from the Slow Lane: February 2015
http://notesfromtheslowlane.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Notes from the Slow Lane. Wednesday, 18 February 2015. So it's been over a month and I have managed to miss last month's book, though it could be rather dull, I have mostly read technical booklets lately, on thrilling subjects like how to work the oven or what insurance covers. But I thought an update was long overdue. And "what am I doing here? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I'm 31, live in south London, have ME, fibromyalgia and depression, follow Jesus, love knitting and making things. This Is Not My Home.

Notes from the Slow Lane: The Year in Books: June
http://notesfromtheslowlane.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-year-in-books-june.html
Notes from the Slow Lane. Monday, 13 July 2015. The Year in Books: June. As you can probably tell, I have got thoroughly out of the habit of blogging, not helped by a cat who objects to me spending too much time at the computer and shows her displeasure by attacking furniture and sitting on the keyboard! Depends on how long Willow the cat sleeps. So, June's book was Dear Daddy Long Legs. The year in books. 19 July 2015 at 22:38. 28 July 2015 at 09:04. 29 July 2015 at 16:51. 9 August 2015 at 19:27.

Notes from the Slow Lane: January 2015
http://notesfromtheslowlane.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Notes from the Slow Lane. Saturday, 17 January 2015. Sorry for the radio silence, life has been rather hectic (for someone with ME anyhow! As I am preparing to move out into my own place! I'm going to miss this chap, hopefully I'll meet a new robin in my new garden. Last year I read this poem by Dylan Thomas, written about his 30th birthday and loved it so much I decided I would post it here to mark my 30th:. It was my thirtieth year to heaven. Woke to my hearing from harbour and neighbour wood. Beyond t...

Notes from the Slow Lane: The Year in Books: March catch up
http://notesfromtheslowlane.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-year-in-books-march-catch-up.html
Notes from the Slow Lane. Thursday, 30 April 2015. The Year in Books: March catch up. As I have not yet decided on April's book yet I thought I would write about March's book (well, books) first, maybe something someone else has written about. You can see the other books in the Year in Books here. The year in books. 1 May 2015 at 22:35. I have been wanting to read these for quite some time, but they are never in at the library. I must actually put in a request - so glad they are this good! Fascinating wh...

Notes from the Slow Lane: The Impatient Rester
http://notesfromtheslowlane.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-impatient-rester.html
Notes from the Slow Lane. Thursday, 16 April 2015. The exertion of moving house and all the work it has entailed has knocked me for six; it is the worst ME crash in years and my word how impatient I am to be back on my feet! I am trying to stay positive, to take each day as it comes, be grateful for what I have, for the peace and chance to recover, but I am human and do not find it easy. Maybe my calling right now is just to be? For now it is time to head back to the sofa. 24 April 2015 at 22:14. I have ...
