Read about my favourite books, teaching, reading for pleasure and other things that interest me, like Icelandic traditions and honesty boxes in the Scottish Highlands. Be warned, I have been known to ramble.

The Book Hibernacle
I am a sucker for an honesty box - the north of Scotland’s mainland and beyond into the Orkney and Shetland islands are littered with them. In Crail, there’s a very lovely honesty box at the little beach with buckets and sandcastle tools to borrow. I mean, come on. There must be an equation about the number of honesty boxes and handwritten signs an area has, the greater my love is for that place. Little Free Libraries fall into the same category. There’s something so wholesome about them. Open to everyone.
