Book Review – Country People by Daniel Mason @johnmurrays #20BOS26

About the Book Miles Krzelewski is a devoted husband, a doting father beloved for his outlandish bedtime stories, and the proud owner of a truffle-hunting dog in a land with no truffles. He is also a bit lost, twelve years late with his PhD on Russian folktales and increasingly haunted by a sense that he's become a disappointment to his family.

#SixOnSaturday – Six things happening in my garden this week

Six on Saturday is a weekly meme originally hosted by The Propagator but now in the tender care of Jim at Garden Ruminations. It's now over a month since we had any rain worth talking about here in Berkshire. There is some forecast for tomorrow but I'm not holding my breath. We now have a hosepipe ban in force so walking up and down the garden with a full watering can has replaced all other forms of exercise for the time being.

#SixOnSaturday – Six things happening in my garden this week

Six on Saturday is a weekly meme originally hosted by The Propagator but now in the tender care of Jim at Garden Ruminations. It's now coming up to a month since we had any rain worth talking about here in Berkshire with no prospect of any for at least another week if the forecasts are correct. Then it may be brief downpours when what we really need is long periods of persistent rain to really soak the soil.
