Rowan Tree and Red Thread

There are a few drawbacks to sharing your bedroom with a toddler. I've realised that a less obvious one is we've lost the opportunity to read aloud to one another.

Rowan sleeps reasonably well but can be touchy about either of us making too much noise. I suspect that reading novels to one another would only annoy her. It's a shame, as I really enjoy reading aloud, and being read too. There's something close and warm and romantic about it (assuming you're not reading a splatter-horror doorstop or what have you).

When is Rowan's room going to be ready I hear you ask? That's a very good question.
