Lopsided April Cake and Book Blip!!

“My Family and Other Animals is the bewitching account of a rare and magical childhood on the island of Corfu by treasured British conservationist Gerald Durrell.

Escaping the ills of the British climate, the Durrell family - acne-ridden Margo, gun-toting Leslie, bookworm Lawrence and budding naturalist Gerry, along with their long-suffering mother and Roger the dog - take off for the island of Corfu.

But the Durrells find that, reluctantly, they must share their various villas with a menagerie of local fauna - among them scorpions, geckos, toads, bats and butterflies.

Recounted with immense humour and charm My Family and Other Animals
is a wonderful account of a rare, magical childhood.”

Managed to stop sneezing long enough today to join my Book Group friends at the library for our monthly book and cake session. The one advantage of our new-fangled council one stop shop/library is that it also has a café! This lopsided photo kind of sums up how lopsided I feel at the mo, but one thing that was very clear was that, despite the fact that we all had different editions of the book, we all thoroughly loved it, and would heartily recommend it!!
