We took some time off recently and spent some time in the wonderful Hay on Wye.
As many of you know I love my books! We have a small library in our home which is the most heavenly place to hang out. Especially on a winters day, snuggled under a blanket with a mug of tea and a thoughtfully chosen book.
One of the shops I spent some serious time in was Richard Booth's Bookshop where I picked up these fabulous old gardening books. Gifted over 100 years ago to someone called Carrie Ross. I wonder who she was and what her garden looked like? How old was she when she discovered her love of gardening. And who was CEK? I have so many questions I’d like to ask the past.
How wonderful to know that these books have had a past and also that her name is still spoken 📚🥰 it’s really rather magical.
