Ms King's newest novel, Those Who Are Gone, has a bit of everything... including a cat.

Those Who Are Gone, the sequel to From the Garden by Laurie R. King.

What a treasure. Amazing that they have survived.

This is no ordinary glove, it once belonged to Henry VIII and it was his hawking glove. A hawking glove, or falconry glove is worn to protect the falconers skin from the sharp talons of the birds when they land.

It does have that sense, doesn't it.

My husband's Persian slipper still holds his tobacco. It isn't quite as fine as this one.

Today, Those Who Are Gone, Ms King's latest novel, is released.

Definitely a step up from a silver spoon.

Ashmolean Museum, Oxford@ashmoleanmuseum.bsky.social · 2w ago

This beautiful gold enamelled spoon is from early 19th-century Iran. The art of enamelling was especially popular during the Qajar period, which this spoon dates from. Water pipe bases, swords and daggers, mirrors, and tableware are some of the types of objects which were painted with enamels.

The timing is not the best for you. Sorry.

I wish it had been the 7th, I have 4 hours tomorrow sitting in my local garage while my car has a service and MOT ! 😥

Lovely weather this weekend. We have spent much of the day outside, either on the terrace or under the Copper Beech. Fall hasn't, as yet, arrived on the Sussex Downs.
