Through portraits of people, glimpses of animals, evocative landscapes, and moments from news and events, the images reveal the character and quiet drama of life by the sea – a visual journey that celebrates light, shadow, and the enduring spirit of a remarkable place

Her bookshelf confession? Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke. As someone who’s not usually a fan of influencers, Jacq expected fluff… but was pleasantly surprised.

Ah Nits! by @philip.bunting
Ah, Nits! is a laugh-out-loud picture book that takes the dreaded topic of head lice and turns it into something completely hilarious. With Philip Bunting’s signature witty humour, humorous illustrations and playful storytelling, this book is guaranteed to have both kids and adults giggling from start to finish. The upbeat tone makes a tricky childhood experience feel light-hearted and fun. Highly recommend for families, classrooms and anyone who loves a children’s book with big laughs and plenty of personality.

John of John by Douglas Stuart
After escaping to art college , Cal (John-Calum) is drawn back to the tiny Isle of Harris where he grew up; where his devout Presbyterian father ( a tweed weaver) & ever watchful & judgmental community require him to be vigilant in concealing his true self. Against a backdrop of a remote, stark landscape, limited prospects & resources, dwindling villager numbers & an omnipotent priest & church : everything is loaded. Beautifully realised with flawed & tender characters this novel radiates life in a tiny Scottish hamlet with both humour & hostility. Containing some of the most lovely musings on colour I have ever read, this is a novel of beauty, duty & damage; of family ties & the power of truth, secrets & limitations to tear apart.
This one stays with you
