Today we got a small storm with about 2 inches of snow this am. This evening we are forcasted to get 12-14 inches of snow. So it is a great day to be indoors in front of the fire and reading and listening. I am still reading "Stealing Lumby" which I am enjoying. It also has been a great catch up day. I listened to 6 episodes of the podcast of "The Archers" which I love to do. I also caught up on another BBC Radio 4 broadcast which I recieve by podcast each day, "Silver Street. A gritty soap opera about the Asian (mostly Indian) population in London. I adore these podcasts. They are such fun to listen to. I also listened to "Ramblings with Clare Baldwin (Radio 4 BBC also. She has a twice monthly broadcast/podcast which lasts about 25 minutes and she document different walks in different parts of England, and often has people from the area walking and talking with her. Today the podcast destination was Lands End, the very tip of the British Isles in Cornwall. And the man who led her around what sounds like a wonderful, beautiful area, is Patrick Gale. He is a fiction author who writes novels set in this area. So now..another author to read. This area is the bottom picture.
The top picture here which is called Mithers Tap is another walk in Scotland this time, outside Aberdeen up in the Highlands. This is whaty I love about these podcasts. I always then look up online to see pictures of where she (or anyone) is discussing, much like I do with the setting of interesting books I read.
