A beginning that sucks you right into the story - no messing, no faffing, just right in there. Characters that seem real, that stay with you when you're not reading the story, and you wonder what is happening next. Once the book is finished its aura…
Thanks Harry and Paula.
I'm afraid I just point and shoot - the scenery is very obliging. One day I will learn how to work my camera properly! :o)
This particular day was actually very springlike and quite warm for this far north (n/e Scotland).
Thanks Harry and Paula. :o) It was incredibly cold on this day. We were out for abut half an hour taking photos and my fingers, inside gloves, were so cold they were painful - took hours for the tenderness to go away.
