Well it has been quite some time since I last posted and this is why…
Yes, I finally got married on 27 April 2019 and this was followed up by a blissful trip to Paris.
The wedding itself had a bookish theme, with flowers made out of old book pages which were taken by the guests as keepsakes – the teacups were actually my grandmother’s, left to me on her death in 1995 so I was delighted to work them into the decorations.
So in short now that project is over I should now have time to get back to reading again – I discovered you can’t be a book blogger when you aren’t actually reading much at all. Of course I have read during my absence and so I will be sharing reviews of those books while I pick up the reins to blogging and of course connecting with all my blogging friends; I have a feeling that I’m going to want to read all the books I’ve missed during my break.
Congratulations Cleopatra!

Cleo! What a wonderful and most beautiful bride you made (and such a handsome husband too!)! Thanks for sharing with us! I thought that was probably what was going on with you and hoped we see you again at some point. Clever, clever decorations with the books and teacups etc. And a trip to Paris as well. You have been missed. And take your time about the blog. We’ll all be around I suspect. Congratulations and my very best wishes!

It was fun doing something a little different with the table decorations and my guests seemed to appreciate them too.
