My big plan is to engage people in conversations about books more online & offline. Reading is a huge part of my life, but I very rarely talk about the books I'm reading except to colleagues or close family. That's changing!

My calculations on this kind of thing are based around can I afford the lost time if I make a bad choice. I hate food waste, but I also don't take risks.

If only it was that simple. The legislation unamended threatens to sink parts of the book industry because it was framed with no understanding of how complex the origins of wood products in paper & books are. We want to do due diligence and report: in a way that is possible.

Thanks for asking, Don. No, although we're in an elevated and exposed position, the house is a converted stone-built, slate roofed barn. It's very sturdy, so so far, so good. It's the garden that suffers. I know I'm a bit mad to even attempt the gardening I do here. But I can't resist trying.
