@MitchW it’s a river in the north of England, yes. We definitely don’t get California weather!

@Miraz thanks!

@tkoola I finished the second one recently and think I'll start on the third soon(ish). Glad to hear that the cosiness is still there. I didn't think that an awful lot happened in the first two books though, they were fairly low-key. Is the third one even slower?

@KimberlyHirsh Awesome that you recognise it! I got my Lego bonsai tree for Christmas and I love it, it looks so nice

@Miraz Yes, I think emphasising the negative things is done automatically. A good friend would remind someone of the positives, not to be falsely upbeat but to help them see things from a more balanced perspective. I think we have to put in the effort and learn how to do this with ourselves too, because it's definitely not automatic
