lorencafferty.bsky.social @lorencafferty.bsky.social · 15/03/2025A fabulous day @litfest.bsky.social - all the poetry you can eat with @katiescribbles.bsky.social followed by the world’s greatest hotpot at The Merchants. Lancaster is great. 052
lorencafferty.bsky.social @lorencafferty.bsky.social · 01/03/2025Obligatory picture of the insta-grotto, but from the outside 010
lorencafferty.bsky.social @lorencafferty.bsky.social · 16/02/2025Book number seven of 2025 is Elizabeth Gifford’s The Lost Lights of St Kilda. I read it because of our upcoming Hebrides trip, but I really wanted a happy ending! A lovely last few chapters in front of the fire. #AmReading 000
lorencafferty.bsky.social @lorencafferty.bsky.social · 15/02/2025Just back from “Ten Things to do in Small Cumbrian Town” - great theatre, very funny and a superb night out. Some of it so well observed I’m still laughing/cringing at my own life. 011
lorencafferty.bsky.social @lorencafferty.bsky.social · 02/02/2025Book number six of 2025; Julie Beckett’s The Archers Unseen. The fact I think I knew all but a couple of things in there makes me realise how much I like TA and how old I really am! I’ve been poorly all week so am under a blanket with my book and the cat. #TheArchers #AmReading 160
lorencafferty.bsky.social @lorencafferty.bsky.social · 26/01/2025Book number five of 2025 is going to stay with me for a very long time. Samantha Harvey’s remarkable Orbital. The prose is out of this world (all puns intended.) #AmReading 010
lorencafferty.bsky.social @lorencafferty.bsky.social · 25/01/2025Had a lovely evening. We finally watched Wicked with a lap full of snacks and the cat. 020
lorencafferty.bsky.social @lorencafferty.bsky.social · 19/01/2025Book number four is the remarkable Foster by Claire Keegan. She never ever disappoints. Still got a lump in my throat! #AmReading 010
lorencafferty.bsky.social @lorencafferty.bsky.social · 18/01/2025Book number three of 2025. An Artist of the Floating World by Kazuo Ishiguro. A very different feel to Klara or Never Let Me Go but intriguing and beautifully written. Frustration set in at times. #AmReading 020
lorencafferty.bsky.social @lorencafferty.bsky.social · 11/01/2025Such a stunning day. A short walk, but by gum, it was a cracker. 030
lorencafferty.bsky.social @lorencafferty.bsky.social · 09/01/2025Second trip to the Lowry in a week. Last week to see Come From Away (pleasure) and this week to see An Inspector Calls (business) - both superb productions. 030
lorencafferty.bsky.social @lorencafferty.bsky.social · 09/01/2025Book number two of 2025 is Emma Donoghue’s latest, and boy is it a good un. The Paris Express picks up pace along with the train. Nobody does historical literary fiction quite like ED. Confirmed fan. And grateful for brilliant Christmas presents. #AmReading 010
lorencafferty.bsky.social @lorencafferty.bsky.social · 04/01/2025Felt pretty narked to have to leave the Lake District early to be sure to make work on Monday. Especially after a lovely morning (icy) walk to a pub for lunch. But the heating is on now, all my work is prepped and I am going to pour a wine and eek out Christmas a couple more nights. 051
lorencafferty.bsky.social @lorencafferty.bsky.social · 01/01/2025Ended up on 28books for 2024. Not really a resolution but aiming for 30 plus next year. Book number one of 2025 was ECR Lorac’s Fell Murder. Just as great second time around (reread for book club.) #AmReading 020
lorencafferty.bsky.social @lorencafferty.bsky.social · 27/12/2024A very satisfying morning of research. Finally read the whole of Essex Cholmondeley’s biography of Charlotte Mason. What a woman! And makes my 28th book of 2024. 010
lorencafferty.bsky.social @lorencafferty.bsky.social · 24/12/2024Am about to begin a reread of this gem (for book club) ECR Lorac’s Fell Murder. Set right outside my village. So grateful to @samreadbookseller.bsky.social for introducing me to Lorac. 072
lorencafferty.bsky.social @lorencafferty.bsky.social · 24/12/2024Just finished The Company of Owls by @pollyrowena.bsky.social and it is magnificent. I loved it. A beautiful reflection on what it is to know the nature around us, especially in my home county. (And I get a name check 😂) 171
lorencafferty.bsky.social @lorencafferty.bsky.social · 24/12/2024This is honestly one of the best parts of Christmas. I love that they do this. 000
lorencafferty.bsky.social @lorencafferty.bsky.social · 14/12/2024Festive afternoon tea in the Lake District. A tradition I will never tire of. 000
lorencafferty.bsky.social @lorencafferty.bsky.social · 12/12/2024Merry Christmas from the Forest of Bowland 020
lorencafferty.bsky.social @lorencafferty.bsky.social · 07/12/2024It’s been an exceptionally long day. At work at 7.30am for a day of driving a big minibus through Big Bad Darragh. Home to decorate the Christmas tree and use up the last of the market veg box in a curry soup thing. 😴 000
lorencafferty.bsky.social @lorencafferty.bsky.social · 07/12/2024What an exceptional day. Off to Preston Crown Court with a most remarkable set of young people to take part in the Bar Mock Trail competition. I was VERY invested 😂 Got home to find my wife had similar ideas as me about the energy needed to get through a post school trip tree decorating session! 🎄 020
lorencafferty.bsky.social @lorencafferty.bsky.social · 30/11/2024This is why I love my village! This beautiful, fun creation, designed and built for our Christmas lights switch on is the work of a chap who “just thought it would be nice.” 140
