As I walked down stairs I turned around when I realised the setting sunlight was shining onto some of the book shelves. For a couple of months of the year when the conditions are right we get this lovely warm evening light illuminating this space. 

These are just a few of (mostly) Helena's books. She loves words and novels and seems to remember everything. My shelves have very different books, and are far fewer in number. When we move we are going to feel a big loss when the books have to go. It is very sad that they are so undervalued these days. I hope that this is only temporary and that they will come to be appreciated once again. It won't be in my lifetime.
