I’ve just finished the first third in which he starkly sets out the lack of biodiversity and flowers, in particular, in the Lakes.
Very well written and balanced, so far.
A lot more likeable than the ‘posh’ Rewilding tome based around Knepp and George Monbiot’s contributions.
Thanks. Mrs Noel got this for Christmas - I'm looking forward to reading it.

I'm working my way through the classics currently (and a few non-classics), as a distraction before hopefully returning to running at some point in the spring.

Catcher in the rye. I didn't enjoy this at all. I was genuinely surprised anyone would enjoy this and felt compelled to search the internet for "why do people like this book". Apparently it was a a book for its time - post-war USA. Zeitgeist perhaps. I don't recommend it.


Fahrenheit 451. Pretty good - definitely more of a morality tale than a story.

Fight club. Good but one of those books that is very well represented by the film, which I've seen.

And finally Thursday murder club. Pretty good. Easy reading and well written. I don't feel the need to read the next one.

1984 next...
