WHAT's IN YOUR BOOKSHELF

May be an image of living room and indoors
Thinking and planning our October trip to France, it’s intriguing to contemplate our own familiar surroundings. This is a corner of our sitting room where we spend most of our evening time. We’ve been here 3.5 years and so you take your surroundings for granted. Taking a photo makes it special.
On the third shelf to the far right is a trumpet with the record cover of the Miles Davis album, Round Midnight.

There’s a B&W photograph of the horse race in the Siena square. A great memory of being there.
The bookshelf holds books, mainly my political books of past prime ministers. There also our travel books and a couple by song writer Paul Kelly. Shakespeare and Michael J Fox share another shelf with Bill Bryson and Jon Faine, not to forget Billy Connelly and my favourite eclectic cartoonist, Leunig.

Sue’s mother’s Royal dalton dinner set sits both on a shelf and stored behind the doors in safety.
When visiting someone for the first time, I’m drawn magnetically to their book shelf.

What about you, what does your book shelf say about you?

    1. I'm yet to show Sue's cook book shelf or my car book collection. I'm still struggling with a new blog page but I'll get there. Nice to hear from you occasionally. We have good memories of you both.
