Having a nostalgic moment. I loved the Wartop of Firetop Mountain and the way you could decide the story as a kid... great reminder is the “right book” is the book a child can’t wait to pick up and re-read 😊

Waves at best sister ever if she is looking at twitter today!

Something about this city in a heatwave... “Earth has not any thing to show more fair... ” (also seeing lots of beautiful pictures from across the UK too 😊)
