1  Inspired by something I read on a blog this morning http://enjoyingcreating.wordpress.com/ I got some half-dead fruit out of the compost and made these bird food treats to hang on our Christmas tree – which will be ‘planted’ outside as soon as it stops raining! I also made a pastry bird-seed cake in the hope  of both nourishing the birds and luring them closer to my camera!

4   And, at last, I have my book list for the staircase of books (but as my big brother said, it could be a different list tomorrow!)  I agree with Valerie that really I need the staircase in a lighthouse!
‘Under Milk Wood’ Â Dylan Thomas
Poems of Pablo Neruda
‘Othello’Â Shakespeare (How can I choose just one play? Perhaps I should have ‘The Complete Works’Â )
‘The Book Thief’ Â Marcus Zusak
‘Far From The Madding Crowd’ Â Thomas Hardy
‘Jeremy Visick’  David Wiseman  (my Dad!)
‘Kes’ Â Barry Hines
‘Sophie’s Choice’ Â William Stryron
‘Winnie-the-Pooh’ Â A A Milne
‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ Â Harper Lee
‘Rebecca’ Â Daphne Du Maurier
Do let me know what your choices would be and thank you to those who already have.
And to all my Australian readers – I hope you and yours are safe as we hear the news of the terrible fires sweeping across your country.
