WHAT AM I READING?
I'm in a 'between books' place so decided to finish the Bingo Hall Detectives series by starting the Concert Hall Killer by Jonathan Whitelaw. I like the characters in this easy read and cosy crime series but am pleased it's the last one.
My next book is scheduled to arrive early November, The Crying Cave Killings by Wes Markin. It's set in Knaresborough, not far from where I live and I've enjoyed his other books.
I'd suggest the Heythwaite series by Annie Eileen Rogers, if you want a cosy mystery.
Well, we survived Storm Boelo, our first taste of El Niño I guess, but, boy is the garden a mess!
Summer flowers are flattened and loose objects litter the lawn and garden. Wind is abating now.
My hat is raised to all those brave souls who were out in the worst of the storm fixing power lines or restoring electricity supplies. They deserve more remuneration than any of the elite b'llionaires do, that's for sure.
During my trek of Hadrian's Wall some time ago, a hike I enjoyed muchly. At times it felt like the Romans had only just left, at others their influence fleeting... like all of ours, especially those of the bitter old men who dominate the news.

Everyone who lives in the UK (& probably elsewhere) should take the time to listen to this series of 3 villages, starting with Muker in North Yorkshire. They feature the voices of those closest to farming and paint a future that none of us would want but which we're drifting towards with apathy as the fuel.
