Reading, reading, reading

After my walk this morning and finding this cuckoo wasp bee (I think) lying in wait at the entrance to a mining bee's nest, I was very pleased to find my book had arrived written and signed by the lovely blipper, intothehills (thank you). 

It's a harrowing autobiographical story which becomes powerfully inspirational. It's made all the more impactful by having followed so many of K's posts on blip and discovering how these disturbing life events have given rise to his extraordinary inner strength, his courage and his determination to give back to others.

Humbling.

I haven't read a book for some time. I haven't sat down and read without being able to stop for years. I read and read until the last minute before going out to board gamers.
