After our giddy excitable Santa drew "too soon" comments, here's our more restrained photo of books you might like to consider buying as presents. Maybe Christmas presents, but that's a long time off yet, isn't it? Check our online shop. Sorry, we don't sell wrapping paper☺️ gritstonecoop.co.uk/shop/

Should walkers & ramblers be required to take a compulsory test before venturing out into the countryside? A sort of driving test, one which would assess their walking knowledge and competence? See The Borders:The Lands We Share by @andrewbibby-writer.bsky.social gritstonecoop.co.uk/product/bord...
