Yes! I wonder if there is a word in German (or perhaps Welsh) which captures the feeling of watching episodes of Morse in the late afternoon?

Great photos - Bolton Abbey to Barden Tower is such a lovely walk.

I was at Warkworth last week with my family. My 10yo daughter thoroughly enjoyed following the new trails (she did three of them), as did I!

PS: would you count Daphne du Maurier's House on the Strand as historical fiction? (Not sure, but it's great, anyway!)

Edith Pargeter, The Heaven Tree, but I also thought quickly of Andrew Greig's That Summer, as well as his Fair Helen. Your own For Thy Great Pain is now very high on my list of favourites!

Very pleased to see this - an excellent article!

Agreed - this sounds like a very interesting project!

This course will take place at the University of Edinburgh’s Centre for Open Learning (Holyrood Road).

The course was originally scheduled for 15 March, but it will now take place on Saturday 10 May. Booking is open to all aged 16+

Thanks for sharing this. A really good article, capturing the experience of visiting these wonderful places. It's been a long time (too long!) since my last visit to St Davids, but I hope to return at some point soon.

Really sorry to see this, Allan - it will indeed be a great loss.
