Reading by Lamplight
A Coleman Lantern
Agathe has given up her vigil for the night – it’s too dark to see the mailbox.
A dark and stormy night
But the little Coleman Lantern makes it pleasant inside the tent, despite the rain and wind outside.
Agathe reads Agatha
Agathe is re-reading her stack of Agatha Christies.

The mailperson is unlikely to show your guest the way to your house at night, Agathe, so you might aswell relax with your favourite books.
Do you prefer Hercule Poirot or Miss Jane Marple? We have been watching some re-runs of Poirot on the talking box that our person has. He is very clever but we like Miss Marple best as she can knit at the same time as solving crimes and she never boasts about her little grey cells, of which she has as many as M. Poirot!
Happy reading,
Roberta and Mary xx
We’ve lately been reading about Tommy and Tuppence…but I think I agree that Miss Marple is our favourite!
We just read a compilation of Agatha’s letters and diaries from her trip around the world. She left her two-year-old daughter with her mother and sailed off to Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Hawaii. She was very adventurous!
I will be ordering “The Grand Tour” for Agathe – We love to read published journals and letters! …Agatha was an interesting woman!
seeing Agathe in her tent reading reminds me of all of our camping trips and all the books we read at night in
our tent. Thanks for a lovely reminder of some very fun times!!
It is getting late in the season for camping here, just very damp – Agathe is a hardy soul though, and as long as she has her stack of books, she doesn’t mind!
I can see that Agathe is enjoying reading the adventures of Miss Marple. Camping days will be fewer now as the fall and winter sets in……..The Quimper girls enjoy themselves indoors or outdoors !!!
It is true that winter camping can be very soggy around here!
