Our separate accommodation with time to ourself really helped us enjoy the experience. It was important to have down time on our own to reflect on the day and top up our reserves.Travellin' Penguinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06286703342642772792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182711239163480368.post-7131753184475623152016-11-15T22:59:59.610+11:002016-11-15T22:59:59.610+11:00Sounds like the perfect book for travelling.

It's really very fascinating - and something I've been thinking abut in recent times - how quickly we create little routines for ourselves. Is it human nature, and if so is it a good or a bad thing that we do this? Does it stultify us or create a space for us. (BTW I totally approve of the nice lunch and then the quiet evening catching up, writing, sorting images etc.Whispering Gumshttp://whisperinggums.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182711239163480368.post-23974413141084842112016-10-25T23:17:52.903+11:002016-10-25T23:17:52.903+11:00I had a list of all the series of Penguins I colle...I had a list of all the series of Penguins I collect but sadly blogger deleted my lists while I was travelling.

I haven't been to Hay for five or six years now (maybe more) after two trips with friends and one with husband. The Cinema Bookshop is a favourite of mine, and there's another with a £1 basement that's great. <br /><br />I can't find an "About me" post on here, but I'm not very good at Blogger blogs. Do you collect particular Penguins, just the orange ones, just up to 1,000? I had a think for Pelicans a while ago but had to restrain myself!<br /><br />And I know what you mean about book groups, I very rarely read new modern novels and they do tend to concentrate on those (as I also know from doing research on book groups). You spend ages reading a book you wouldn't have chosen to read, while neglecting your own ones. Sigh.

I use Feedly to read my blogs, by the way, you just pop the URL in, it finds it and collects all the updates in one place. You can categorise them and, crucially, Save For Later, so you can click on the posts you fancy reading them and have a catch-up another time.

Yes, I am anxious to get home and see everyone and my pets. The trip isn't always as bad as it sounds and there is a lot to do on the plane with my books, magazine and entertainment system.

We've had ours for over a year and I still don't know how to turn on the defroster, etc. I can't see the dashboard without my reading glasses anyway and I can't drive wearing my reading glasses. Time to just stay home and read!<br />I'm glad you, your friends, and Penguin are still having fun. But I appreciate that you'll be glad to be back home with all your own comforts and a lot of new memories.<br />joan.kylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015342608992682333noreply@blogger.com
