After three days of touring this picturesque island it's time to change gears and prepare for the AFFHP genealogy conference that kicks off tomorrow.

Reading Challenge Progress - June
On the 27th December 2021 the Goodwill Librarian launched on Facebook her 2022 reading challenge. I made a hasty decision to join in.
Each month I will report my progress in reading books that fulfil her criteria. I will add a link to the Librarything entry for each criterion I tick off.
As I have been travelling for the past five weeks I am rather late in sharing this post. While I read several books during June only two of them matched the challenge criteria. I need to target the remaining eight criteria by December if I am to complete the challenge. I think I'll manage!!!
You can see the full list of the challenge criteria here.
13. Released in the year you were born
Here is New York by E B White https://www.librarything.com/work/46410/summary/218641329
49. About science
Little pieces of me by Alison Hammer and others.

This is not a full list of the books I read in June. The remaining titles can be seen on my Librarything or GoodReads accounts.

The Royal Standard of England
We had our last supper in the UK tonight at The Royal Standard of England at Forty Green in Beaconsfield which is reputedly the oldest pub in England.

20 Something Snaps - Secret Business
I crossed a major visit off my bucket list today.
In spite of the heat at this very large site we both enjoyed our visit to Bletchley Park in Bucks., the top-secret home of WW2 Codebreakers and workplace of Alan Turing. I would highly recommend a visit to this site which complements Churchill's War Rooms in London.
