My father was always proud of his ability to turn a heel, learnt in the War, although I think it was too late for the Finns who were originally meant to receive the socks

β€˜There’s a phrase that used to go through my thoughts - the heavy tread of middle age on the family stairs. Moving around the house I sounded more and more like my dad, with an oof in each step.’

Helm by Sarah Hall review – a mighty epic of climate change in slow motion A Cumbrian wind is the central character in this hugely ambitious, millennia-spanning novel, which was 20 years in the making

β€˜The characters and voices could stand alone, but they flow together into something deep and rich, held together by the Eden Valley, and its Helm.’

A fantastic review for Helm by Sarah Hall over on the Guardian πŸ‘‡

I can't remember now why I started following @tre.radio but it means that I've been getting these two posts (among others) unchanged every day. So now, finally I'm cracking. Is there just the one hat in the office?
