I've been asked on several occasions by non-bookish folk why I have so many books, and why don't I just get a kindle or read ebooks. I have several replies. The first is that I love the experience of reading a physical book. The second is that books look nice and they make the room feel cosy. (Cont)

I had a little fun this weekend recording the first chapter of my short story - Welcome Home. I wrote this piece for an anthology and have decided to release a chapter a week as a free audiobook.

They have a huge range of heirloom veggies, flower & herb seeds and are well priced.

Highly recommend watching 'Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones', on Netflix. We can all learn a thing or two I think.

I feel like a really good investment to make in this day and age is in heirloom seeds. Fruit, veg, herbs, medicinal plants. Time to get planting, no matter how small your garden is. Every bare patch of soil is an opportunity to grow food.

Apparently there's a new Mandela effect that says John Jarratt was NOT in Play school, and he says he wasn't in it, and I feel like my whole childhood was a lie 😆

Taking some time out from reality today and re-watching 'The 4400' for the first time in 20 years. I wish they wrote TV like this these days. Good stuff!

Stay safe with the heat today, my #Aussie friends. Put water out for wildlife and check on your elderly neighbours.

A member of my family chose to exit my life recently after I finally stood up for myself. And honestly, I'm relieved. No more walking on eggshells, and I'm finally free to talk about ALL of my life experience, and to not hide any of it. I've never felt so calm.

I know the world is getting heavy, and I can't begin to comprehend what many folks are experiencing. I hope I can offer some respite though. I've made the eBook of The Rebels Guide free on Smashwords for a couple of weeks, I hope it brings some distraction and relaxation (🔗 in next post)

Over the holiday break, I had some time to create a full sized, hand bound copy of The Rebels Guide, using the original embroidery that was sewn for the cover art.
It took some time and patience, but I love the end result.

You can find out more about the book at shanlscott.com

I love seeing YouTubers discover Johnny Farnham, he is such a national treasure for us and his music is incredible and has a lot of meaning. Soundtrack to my childhood, Whispering Jack on vinyl 😍 enjoy!
