Loving @anncleeves.bsky.social ‘s Vera series, which I’m re-reading. I find myself identifying with Vera’s thinking, her flabby weaknesses etc! So true. Brilliant plot as ever, this one set in mysterious Northumberland. Who would kill and why amongst so-called friends? Recommend

I usually use realtimetrains for platforms at termini. Please don’t tell anyone in case they abolish this information source too.
