First known tree hug. Know zero about film but have collected for ~38 yrs. Pre-Code love. Dead--but I'm not dead yet--language familiarity. Demi-horticulturalist. Car-free commuting since 1977. Will write Alt Text for food.
Sure, watch the telly show but, more importantly, the book is an engaging, eye-opening read.

Richard Burton was born 100 years ago today, on November 10th 1925. Throughout his life he was a voracious reader. In his diary he recorded carrying a “book bag” everywhere, noting on one particular day that he’d read five books. He described books as his “first love”.

November’s early darkness enfolds us. The smell of applewood fires and rot is a constant companion at twilight. We hurry between home and evensong, home and pub. Ghosts crowd the lanes, our folklore becomes filled with tales of cold teeth. Winter begins to growl. - #CLNolan
