Rewind Recap: Weekly Update W/E 22/03/26 What a week. In a good way. Spent the first half of it on a much needed mini break to Copenhagen. My first time but feel I may well venture back sometime to explore a little more. We fit plenty in - walked over 52 miles and more than 133,000 steps over the four days - but lots we just didn’t have chance to see too.

A few nights away in the caravan. Brought my library book with me and it’s a fitting one for today #CountyDurhamDay #FeastDayOfStCuthbert #LJRoss

Rewind Recap: Weekly Update W/E 13/07/25 Okay. So I achieved little to nothing of interest over the last week. The increasing heat has made sleeping painful, so the one thing I did manage was to get up early most mornings (apart from the one day I forgot to set an alarm ...) and go for a walk along the canal before work. So quiet. So pretty. So many…

We were thrilled that author @ljross.bsky.social popped in the shop over the weekend for a surprise visit - and she very kindly signed ALL of our books from the DCI Ryan detective series set in Northumberland - from 1 to 23!

Be quick; we don’t think these will here long!

Rewind Recap: Weekly Update W/E 09/03/25 Blimey. What happened there then? Another week gone. I swear they are getting quicker. Not that I'm complaining as this week I had a very short work week, with Thursday and Friday spent at leisure. This means that I actually have something to share with you all picture wise as Mandie and I went for a walk around Ironbridge on Thursday and then a stroll further upstream along the Severn in Shrewsbury on Friday.

Rewind Recap: Weekly Update W/E 09/02/25 That is another week over, and it's possibly the first time in a long time that I feel able to breathe. Having been informed about ten days before Christmas that I was due to be made redundant, I have just been offered a new role, again about ten days before I was due to finish the old one. A relief - yes.

Excited to start trying to read my first @ljross.bsky.social novel in French. Christ knows how long it’ll take, but I’ve read the English version so figured it was a decent place to start. #languagelearning #reading #french #ljross

My #scarborough #cosycrime about #crazygolf was the NUMBER ONE bestseller in Scarborough bookshop Mrs Lofthouse's Emporium during 2024. I outsold #ljross #anncleeves and them all

Cover of Holy Island by LJ Ross - lindisfarne castle in sunset

Frontispiece of book autographed by the author and message “to Emma with love”

In preparation for #Northumberland trip have got some recommended ‘local’ bedtime #reading… got it on eBay and was pleasantly surprised to find it was autographed 😮…shame my name isn’t Emma - should I cross ‘Emma’ out and put ‘Andy’?
