I’ve been taking the first three magazines for a number of years now, and Dorset Life for just over one year. The things is, when I first subscribed, I would flick through the magazines, and read the odd article here and there. But then the lockdowns came. Once that happened, I made a vow that I would read all my magazines from cover to cover. Right up until the one before the most recent issues, I did that.
For some reason I can’t fathom, I broke the habit. I went back to the old way. I think it was partly because I had a book that I was more interested in reading than the magazines. The book was Gilbert White’s A Natural History of Selborne. I bought it at his house, I was determined to read it. I still am, but a bit slower. The book comprises a series of letters. I’m adopting a practice of reading a letter a day. Nothing to report on the book yet, I’ve read the first twenty letters so far.
I’m not sure what I’m going to do when the next round of magazines starts. The one exception is Dorset Life – that one, I continue to read front to back.
