First Sunday Selfie of 2026

Hello, and welcome to our selfie. 

First off we wish you all a very happy and prosperous and good karma filled new year. 

With the festive season now thankfully behind us, and the husks of other peoples spent firework rockets all but gathered up from the Manor House gardens — save one lodged on the roof — Mrs H can rest up for a while. 

I say rest up, only between meal services and raking up the last vestiges of autumn leaves that appear from nowhere and stain the lawns with patches of limp, yucky brown. 

Whilst she does that, I have been making the most of some down time. No book reviews for a while as we are busy elsewhere, hoping that our book artiste comes through sooner rather than later with some new art for book 2 and book 3. More on that as and when.

Anyways, here is me on one of the day beds, soaking up yesterday afternoons (3pm) sunshine. There was a welcome blast of bright, clear but low light from across the fields. That's why I am squinting. In a week that has seen freezing temperatures here of -7c, with snow and heavy frosts, and continues to threaten so into next week, this and other beds and sofas is where you will find me. Mrs H has the kettle on now, in readiness for an audio book listen before breakfast, so I shall leave you hopefully with thoughts of warm weather and happier days.


Erin lays sat slightly sideways and head on, looking to her left. She sits on a sage green fleece that itself is spread over a day bed. She looks out the window and her face and part body is illuminated by some late afternoon bright winter sun.
