My sister recently bought herself a hammock seat and having sat in it decided it was exactly what I needed. She is very kind so now I have one too!
We had great fun getting it up – all the branches seem to go straight up in the air!
It is the most wonderful place to sit and read and I have spent a couple of entire days curled up in it with a book and a cup of tea. I’ve even eaten my lunch and had a nap in it (I would highly recommend it for naps)!
Even the ponies like it!
I have also needed some blankets – it might be sunny at the moment but it is not really all that warm yet and sitting still you do get a bit chilly. It is totally worth it though.
It is amazing how much reading you can get through when you have no distractions. Over one weekend I spent two afternoons hanging and reading and I got through two children’s books (Malamander by Thomas Taylor and We Won an Island by Charlotte Lo) and a good sized chunk of Martin Chuzzlewit. It was bliss.
What is it about books ...? 
I would love a hammock! Even though I don’t have a garden or trees. I might have to buy one to hang up at my sister’s . 🙂

It is the most wonderful thing! The only drawback is that I want to spend all my time in it!

Do you think your surroundings affects how much you enjoy a book or do you get so involved that you forget where you are?

Oh they definitely affect my enjoyment of a book. It is so much easier to get lost in the story when I’m sat outside in peace and quiet than if I’m on a crowded train. Although, if a book is really gripping even the noisy train can fade into the background!
