Think we’ve all had those freezer failure moments. I lost a huge quantity of Seville oranges waiting to be marmalade and most of the stored stuff from the allotment. It is very sad. Btw I found the salt path bland and boring although I loved the book.

Stuff from the allotment? No! That is far, far worse. Thank you for the SP film review. Two people so far with that view; I will definitely read the book first (which I should have done already). Thank you.

Thank you for distracting me from a too hot to sleep, grumpy early morning.

My advice is to swerve The Salt Path despite the breathtaking scenery and see this instead, it's a joy. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27674982/?ref_=ext_shr

Thanks for the recommendation - love the sound of that. (And I’m with you on disrupted sleep.)

So many treats, Karen (along with freezer TRAGEDY). I have just ordered the Cronks' book this week, and picked up Simon Kupar's book about Paris today in Daunts.

I didn’t know about Simon Kuper’s book. This is excellent news. Ordering, too. Thank you.
