Giveaway – A Christmas package including 2 books to transport you to Greece).
We are delighted to have a copy each of Peel Me a Lotus (set on Hydra) and Mermaid Singing (set on Kalymnos) by Charmian Clift, with forewords by Polly Samson. These are two gorgeous books, first reissued as paperbacks in 2021 when they got superb reviews and are now published just in time for Christmas as hardbacks, with a beautiful marker ribbon. As the nights draw in we all need a blast of Greek sunshine to cheer us up!
We have popped them into a really festive context with a Christmas themed furoshhiki (Japanese wrapping cloth) and a variety of decorations. And what is a giveaway without at least some chocolate? We can assure you the package will be a delight to unpack!

Looking forward to seeing my little niece hang up her first Christmas stocking and watching her little face when she gets her rocking horse on Christmas morning. Christmas is about children and books are for us adults.
We’ve been fed up of being stuck indoors due to:- Illness : COVID : Lockdown : Furlough : Boredom – So it will be nice this Christmas to be able to:
– Do what we want
– When we want
– Where we want
– How we want
– And with whom we want
Happy Christmas TRIPFICTION

I’ll be spending most of the Christmas period with my parents and my brother and his partner. My cousin wants the whole family to go and watch a football match on Boxing Day but truth be told, I would rather watch paint dry! I’m trying to think up a good excuse to get out of it!

To count to 3 breathe and then relax x
Visiting family in the North and getting lots of reading done
My festive plans are very minimal this year, as they have been for the past 2 Christmases, as well, thanks to Covid! My family get together is too far for me to drive to, given my back problems & night blindness, so I will be getting in some tasty treats for myself, maybe a miniature or two, and will be spending the day itself lazing in the bath, reading (of course!) and listening to carols on Classic FM. Not too unpleasant, really!
On Boxing Day, the family will be closer to hand, so I will see everyone then, instead!
Wow , what a gorgeous prize , particularly as I’m heading to Greece with my sister in January . I shall be spending christmas in Thailand , cant wait to feel the sun on my old bones – whilst reading a stack of books .
Merry christmas everyone .

Some Greek sunshine would be wonderful to read about while tucked up under the winter- weight duvet….one can but dream!
