Hello again, I've returned from bonny Scotland in one piece! It was quite a good trip although I spent most of the time with my nose stuck in a book, which is fortunate considering I packed nearly as many as in the picture to take with me. One of the best that I took was 'The year I turned sixteen' by Diane Schwemm. I couldn't tear myself away! The plot followed four sisters (though four different sections of the book) and each narrated what happened the year they turned sixteen. It had me smiling, laughing and crying; I'm so glad I picked it up even if was only because the cover looked nice!
Other highlights of the trip included the thrill of finding shelter from the numerous rain storms and an oddly hot day at the beach (which we had to dash of after two hours because of an unexpected downpour - best of both worlds really) . There was also the trips to a small farm shop just down the road from where we were staying, it was rather miniscule but lovely... and there was also the matter of the extremely gorgeous boy who worked there who kept me going back. Though I think he may have caught on in all honesty, after I went in for the third time, looked at the same stuff without buying anything and left. Well, I really didn't need anymore organic orange juice.
I'm glad to be back to civilisation though with all the interruptions that come with internet access and mobile phone signal... and my blog of course :)
Have any of you ever read 'the year I turned sixteen' and what's been your favourite summer read so far?
All my love, a Cat named Cat x
