I dreamed a house of
books, and where the sun
could wonder: and a
seemly sense of space
be resident within the
working place,
and reading spots be
there for everyone;
somewhere the seasons
would be known to pass
as people read or
talked; and baby rhyme
be opened by the page,
and storytime,
and children’s voices
sing behind the glass.
And there would be a
garden alongside
where water flowed, and
plants could breathe; and you
and I could find
the reasons to be true
to leisure, and the
leisurely confide;
a bright, uplifting place
where life could play, a ready measure of
community.

Belgian Warmblood, Haflinger, Lusitano, Shetland or Brumby; some are for sport, and some are for war.
They help people overcome barriers, providing support, care and even treating depression.
These stunning creatures are much loved by their owners and admired by many.
We are featuring our beloved Horses in this week’s New Books.

Dr Pam Lynch is a well-travelled author who loves to share her journeys by presenting talks with images to places like Everest Base Camp, Hadrian’s Wall and the Tasmania coastal walk. This time Pam will guide us through the history and landscape of the Orkney Islands. Pam is an inspiring speaker who motivates listeners to live life to the fullest and in these times of travel restrictions what better way to get out and see the world than through some armchair travels?
