Just begun ‘Our Evenings’ by Alan Hollinghurst. Recommended by one of the booksellers in that enormous bookshop on Deansgate, Manchester (you know the one!) she says I will sob…told her to read ‘The Betrayal of Thomas True’ by @AJWestAuthor for a similar effect…will compare #booksworthreading

Took a tumble yesterday and ended up in A&E having my head glued and stitched…was in @Pret Cross St Manchester today for a little lunch and kind manager, Jessica, saw what I’d done and gave me lunch on the house. So kind! Little tokens like this restore faith in people. Thanks!

As you enter the Midland Hotel you pass a beautiful vintage car. It’s there because a certain Mr Rolls met with a certain Mr Royce and decided to build a very luxurious car…the rest is history as they say @gardeninNorway
