What a lovely environment you live in and you have an adorable family. Your S&B mini is incredible! I would say, yes, you definitely have reached a level beyond beginner - looks more like advanced to me. :) With two small kids (almost 5 and almost 3), all I've managed to finish reading this summer was The Signature of All Things. Loved it!!Karin Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02411303805050553168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647398646594937688.post-32016992465073439962014-08-03T21:14:39.423-02:302014-08-03T21:14:39.423-02:30Hi, Leanne!

You must have a lot of patience. I love the sea too and we live near enough to go often, I can't imagine living far from the coast now either. Favourite books - I love reading and seem to have quite an eclectic mix these days. I frequently enjoy some of my teenager son's books - Jonathan Stroud's Bartimaeus trilogy was great recently. For grown up books, maybe Jasper Fforde - a bit strange but very clever! And I've just finished reading a Margery Allingham book which I really enjoyed. I could add lots more but they'd all be a strange mix!
