It's Friday 3rd May and we only have the weekend left here in Apalachicola. Since my title says Notes from etc. this is then only a short note. Our plans for the day aborted when we both switched of our alarms at 6 and awoke hours later. It was a leisurely hour or so before we ventured out into the historic district of luxurious oaks and birds. Only the usual ones on show and all seen before. But I was on the look out for Hummingbird feeders; we found feeders but no birds this time.
Onwards into ‘Downtown Books & Purl’. Where we met like-minded people and one I talked into buying The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle - note not 7 and one half as in England - and I warned her that it was a challenge and that she can ‘curse’ me afterwards. Email exchanged.
She was undoubtedly a reader and also walked out with ‘The Crow Trap’ by Ann Cleaves. It is good to see excellent British writers in a Florida bookshop.
We bought a signed copy of Susan Cerulean, our guide on St Vincent, entiltled ‘Coming to Pass’; Florida’s Coastal Islands in a Gulf of Change. A serious read and to know a little more about the Forgotten Coast.
