A brilliant talk last night by Alastair Langland "Hampshire Through Writers' Eyes" We have a few copies of the book. Published by @ElandPublishing and available either from them or us! It's a great compilation of poetry and prose about the county from all kinds of sources.

I‘ve just pillaged Hatchards and brought a dozen of your books back to 🇨🇭. Not many publishers have a lineup with not one disappointment hidden within, so: thank you.

Two neighbours reading each other's books. It doesn't get any better than that! The book is probably meant for dipping, because it's so *bursting* with travel stories from Dervla's long life on the road. @ElandPublishing

And by coincidence…(the great thing about this book is that it can be read in chunks and actually I need little breaks to cope at times)
