Jane~ The Perfect Christmas Book
As Christmas approaches, I'd like to share with you some ideas I have for the Gift which will bring delight when the bow is untied and the paper torn.......
This is a time of FREEDOM when we can select something special and slightly different. I've chosen three subjects. Gardening, Home Design, and Music. I hope you'll enjoy these ideas.
GARDENING FOR BUMBLEBEES by Dave Goulson
The Sunday Times journalist shows us how to encourage Bumblebees into our Gardens. In discussion about these great pollinators, he tells us how to ensure wildflowers, fruit, and vegetable crops do well and survive. A delightful link between science and the practical.
THE STORY OF GARDENING by Penelope Hobhouse
From Ancient to Modern, East to West this lavishly illustrated book takes us through a visual history of the garden. Definitely a cup of coffee, cosy by the fire afternoon sort of book. Perfect for that armchair moment.
ENGLISH DECORATION : Timeless Inspiration for the Contemporary Home by Ben Pentreath
Visually beautiful, this book blends so cleverly classic English style with modern design. Both an Architect and Interior Designer Ben Penreath builds dreams, dreams and more dreams. A lavish Gift.
THE MONOCLE BOOK OF HOMES by Tyler Brule
From the publishers of Monocle Magazine a book of Interior Design ideas. They state good homes are places where dogs jump on sofas, families grow and friends share our hospitality. This book certainly shows us how to create these.
TENEMENT KID by Bobby Gillespie
