The Wonderful Weekend Book by Elspeth Thompson is a treasure trove. It is all about reclaiming your weekends and reminds you of all the wonderful things that you could be doing. I liked the way she goes through the seasons, reminding you of the simple pleasures like making marmalade or picking elderflowers to make champagne. A lot of things she talks about cost nothing: watching the stars, writing proper letters, having picnics.
Also on this shelf are books to help you enjoy the great outdoors. Lovely as it is to see flowers, birds and butterflies, it is also satisfying to know what you are looking at. The “easy way” guides are small enough to put in your pocket so you can take them with you on your walk. The Reader’s Digest books are better but they are too big and heavy to carry around.
