This is what I did on the first day of spring:reading the Shell Seekers
and enjoying a little bunch of flowers that a pupil brought me.
I read this book every summer
I read this book every summer
but this year I couldn't wait;
I've got a copy of the book in English since October.
I think I've waited long enough, don't you think?
It's the first time I'm reading the original;
before that, I used to read the Greek translation.
I love, love, love this book!
Happy spring!

Ooh you are making me want to read this book now! I am reading one by Peter Carey and the moment called Jack Maggs-all Victorian and mysterious! I enjoyed your inspiring words week last week-such fun.
ReplyDeleteI have read all Rosamund Pilcher's books but now I want to re-read the Shell Seekers! Hope you ill enjoy the original and well done you for being able to read it in both your own language and in English too! I couldn't read a book like that in any other language I am sure.
ReplyDeleteThat posy is lovely too and a real breath of spring.

Ooo I will look out for that book.
ReplyDeleteThankyou for your note Yiota about the YamDaisy menu. Yes, just the names of the dishes is all I need! Soup, 2 mains and a fruit based dessert! Whenever you have time!
Bless you!
Sounds like a lovely start to an anticipated season!
ReplyDeleteWhat an inspiring way to start a lovely season :)
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are so beautiful and a book is always a great friend for a special occasion !
I wish you have a lovely season :D Here, in Brazil, we are having Autumn and the weather has changed completely from hot to windy and stormy days... But I confess I love Autumn !
Enjoy your Spring, dear friend :)
Blessings,

I am really going to have to read that book! Lovely flowers. Sweet student. We have those kinds of flowers growing all over here, which is so neat to me-- international unity through the FLOWERS!
ReplyDeleteNow I feel I should re-read that book. What pretty photographs of your spring posy.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are enjoying this book. It was definitely meant to be for you.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like an interesting book! I don't know how you read in Greek and English so well!!! Happy Spring!

Pretty spring flowers and how sweet for a student to bring them to you. I love the smell of hyacinths. I read that book many years ago and remember enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteHappy Spring.
I'm not familiar with this book, but I like the title.
ReplyDeleteSo pleased you found my little blog today and I am now so glad I found yours too! It seems, am I correct in thinking, that I have found a fellow teacher to?
