My #BookSpinBingo board for June.

I‘m going all out for a bingo this month, largely because I really want to finish some of the books I have in progress. And there are some AMAZING books on this board. And yay! Nonfiction!

Being the organised soul I am, A life in Nature was on the board twice. Again. So I‘ve swapped the middle square for Jubilee reading with Voices of the Crossing.

#Doublespin: A Life in Nature

rockpools Meanwhile, the bell ringers in the church next door are just starting their 3 hour bell-ringing Jubilee celebration. I love hearing church bells. Not sure how I‘ll feel by 1. Thankfully I think they‘ve been joined by ringers from across the county, so there should be some variety at least! 🔔 🔔 🔔 2y
Cathythoughts The bells sound lovely 💫 2y
rockpools @Cathythoughts It‘s one of those silly things I missed during lockdowns - silent Sunday mornings here are just wrong. 2y

Oryx I love church bells. When I lived in st Albans, we were near a church, and it was the lovely sound of Sunday morning. 2y

Wishing you all a peaceful Boxing Day and rest of the festive season , with time to relax and a little time away from the real world.

This was yesterday‘s sunrise - of course the photos don‘t do it justice, but it was quite gorgeous.

And my highly unexpected Christmas book haul - 3 books I didn‘t know existed and can‘t wait to read. (In the case of the Gruff Rhys one, I didn‘t 😉)
