Three Beautiful Things

1. The sun, a magician, draws a shadow off the hedge, and the dew vanishes in a puff of steam. 2. Tunnock's Caramel wafers in their red and gold wrappers. 3. Waiting for me at home is a parcel containing the proofs of Three Beautiful Things .

1. Just as I am waking up, my brother comes up to my room to say goodbye. 2. I have promised myself a train journey, a coffee, a couple of trashy magazines and a good long read of Ursula Le Guin's Planet of Exile . As the day's plans whirl round the breakfast table, I'm not sure if I can keep that promise to myself. But luckily, the car is too full, so I can't have a lift home -- instead I get a trip to the station with my aunt and a clean train journey. 3. I come home to a message from the people at Longbarn -- what do I think of these page designs for the Three Beautiful Things book?
