December 2023 Newsletter
Welcome to the December 2023 newsletter from Stella and Rose's Books. The aim of our newsletter is to keep you informed of new information, articles and books available on our website.
So here we are at the end of another year. Where has the year gone? It really seems to have flown by. We'll keep this newsletter brief - as we're sure you're all busy preparing for the festive period. So we'll just say that we hope you enjoy a bit of rest and recuperation, enjoy time with friends and family, and hopefully find some quiet time with a good book!

Recently, my brother-in-law invited me on a day’s walk in the Brecon Beacons in Wales. Being unable to resist the allure of the mountains, I immediately agreed. So, on a cold, crisp November morning I found myself in the carpark just below the disused Neuadd reservoirs.
