We're off to the Isle of Wight for the long weekend. I'm taking this old favourite in its fancy new cover. Of course, it's E M Delafield's Diary of a Provincial Lady. We're hoping for sunshine, shell-collecting and breezy walks along the beach. Looking at the weather forecast it may be rain, wind and storm. Unfortunately, Life is Like That.

Enjoy the book and the weekend! Hope you have a lovely time on the Isle of Wight. Just do your best to keep that fancy new cover dry! K x
The book will brighten even the dullest day. Have a lovely weekend!
Excellent choice of book - have a lovely time!
(Waterstones didn't have that Dorothy Whipple book.)
This is one of my all time favourite books. I have about five different editions of DPL and could not resist this one either
I really enjoyed re-reading this at the weekend. I also like the last volume of PL - the one where she volunteers for war work. The two volumes in between I'm less keen on.
Question: Why are Cath Kidston floral prints so desirable when Laura Ashley have been doing them for years? Answer Comes There None.
