Out of the blue

First of all - here is the link to day 12.  Next one is the last!

Quite out of the blue (don't you just LOVE blue?) came this book the day before yesterday. It's HUGE and it's WONDERFUL and I must thank publicly the very kind person who gifted me with this.  She wishes to remain anonymous so I can't tell you her name.


This hardback book is by Edwige Renaudin who has put a LOT of work into the publication. The ISBN number is 978 2 84167 685 9. You can see the title on the picture. La Frivolity Aux Navettes.

At first glance it may look like a pretty basic book but on further exploration there's loads and loads in there to make BC3 sit up and think. AND try things out. It's all in French (obviously!) but with my schoolgirl knowledge (which is over half a century old and not as sharp as it used to be) and the help of Google translate, this book will be no problem. Why? Well, simply because it's so inspiring anybody would want to understand it.

I've posted a very small picture of a page - just to inspire you.  I'm very, very wary of posting pages from books because of copyright theft so I'm hoping the second picture will turn out REALLY small!!!!

I have this book and it is a great technical book ! Not for beginners. I really love it ! I am sure you will too.

It's a wonderful book, and the fact that it is Part 1 makes me hope for a second volume in due course. I came to read your blog and have just found Part 12! - but it will have to wait until after Monarch of the Glen which has been showing all the way from the first episode again!

Such a wonderful gift. I have it but have not worked anything from it yet. It is truly inspiring. Maybe later this year Google translate and me will become friends with the book.
