pickWinter Solstice is such a comfort read for me. I love reading along the December Timeline. After the family Christmas party last night I settled down by the fire with the last of my Peaty Whisky Advent Calendar - The Balvinie 14 Year Old - The Week of Peat and read the Christmas Eve chapter. 🥃

Timeline Readalong - Elfrida vs The Toaster.
I love how Rosamunde Pilcher takes everyday life and turns it into a story. Elfrida wanting to buy a toaster but worrying about the cost. You see how her decision to move to Scotland affected her finances.

This morning I've been working in my kitchen. Getting ready for the Holidays. Lovely to take a break and finish November section of Winter Solstice. I'll set it aside now and in December will read along the Timeline.
"Nothing much seemed to have changed, except that most of the trees had shed their leaves and there was a definite wintry feel to the air." ??➡️?❄️

pickTimeline Readalong came to end today. Having just finished The Shell Seekers. I particularly liked the mentions of Penelope Keating. Although her sone Neil has some character growth. I feel he's still self centered.
I particularly liked setting, party, Archie and Isabelle. Violet was my favorite. Spunky older ladies are my favorite thing about Rosamunde Pilcher. 👵

pickLove this picture of my first copy of September. Carried it on the plane and in the car as we traveled around Scotland in 2017.
Timeline Readalong ends today. Enjoyed my reread. It's a bit dated in places. But it has my favorite things about Rosamunde Pilcher reads - plucky older woman character and beautiful descriptions. However Winter Solstice remains my favorite.📖 🚘🍁🍂🏴

How fitting that my Timeline Readalong of September by Rosamunde Pilcher has started back up. Last few days there has been a hint of fall with cool mornings. Not that it will last. Sunday forecast high is 101F/38C.
While the majority of the story takes place in September, 100 pages of it are set in August. Short chapters that are perfect with my morning tea as I dream of fall in Scotland. 🌞🫖🍁🍂🏴
