August 2022 Newsletter
Welcome to the August 2022 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.
We've been enjoying (or enduring!) some beautiful hot weather for over the last month with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees celsius! Perfect BBQ weather - but it has left the Wye Valley looking a little crispy!
In the village, work has finally started on the Wireworks Bridge. This is the only bridge across the Wye in the village and means that those walking or cycling on the Wye Valley Greenway are unable to cross over the Wye into the village. Just something to bear in mind if you are thinking of visiting over the next few months. The works should be completed in the spring.
September brings the 'Autumn' high tides, particularly on the 11th and 12th. We now have our shiny new webcam mounted on the outside of the shop. This allows us to remotely monitor tide levels - but if you want to see for yourself just how high the river can get follow this link on one of those days!
Finally, we've been informed that there will be number of postal strikes at the end of August and during September by Royal Mail. We have put a note on our home page with more information, but this will obviously result in some delays.
We hope you enjoy the newsletter!
Wildlife in My Garden contributed by Bernice

I am very lucky to live in the Wye Valley on the edge of the Forest of Dean. Our garden backs onto woodland so we have a wide variety of wildlife. Having cats, I have also seen another layer of wildlife that has been brought to the door over the years! We have the whole spectrum of wildlife... Read more... |

The Observer’s Book of British Birds contributed by Rosemary
|
Stephana Vere Benson. It seems people are not sure if Stephana was her name as she never published it as such on the title page. The Misses Benson began the Bird-Lovers’ League firstly amongst their friends and neighbours and subsequently it grew to more than thirty thousand members worldwide over the next fourteen years. This book was first published in 1937 and is the first of the Observer’s Series. There are at least 15 different dust wrapper variations for the book, published by Frederick Warne and Co. Ltd. Some with only minor changes. The book was revised in 1952, 1956, 1960, 1965 and 1972. The book contains one bird per page, making it an excellent reference guide. Read more... |
