The winters here at Huseby are long and cold. Snow and ice is what you find out in the garden, and there is not much to write about for a gardener. besides I've been very busy at work so maintaining my main blog has been enough these past weeks.
But days are getting longer and temperatures milder, and I am longing for spring.
So what do I do then? I buy daffodils to enjoy indoors and I read about gardens and flowers. A friend in Cornwall sent me a book for Christmas; Golden Harvest. The story of Golden Harvest. The story of daffodil growing in Cornwall and the isles of Scilly by Andrew Tompsett. A lovely book sparkling with the yellows of thousands of daffodils.
I'm going to take the night train down to Oslo tonight. And if I can't sleep I will be surrounded by flowering words.

Well, I've just discovered that there is a blue bookshelf blog too! And as an eager bookreader I have to read here too of course. We are a family with a lot of books and they are everywhere in our house too. You'll never meet me without anything to read...as you said, every minute can be a little moment for reading! Do you also read several books at the same time??
Enjoy the actual reading, Britt-Arnhild, and have a good start into the coming week!
Barbara
