New growth on a winter’s day
This morning, the first day of 2018, started grey, cold and wet … then the sun came out. Light bounced off droplets, fresh shoots pushed up through the moss – it was bright and wonderful, still cushioned in autumn bronze.
Hope in the morning … Happy New Year!
The Phraser will be on pause for Christmas. Here is a tiny handmade video of carol singers on a train platform. This was filmed from the bridge over the tracks so it is all a bit long-distance – a meander, caught on our commute home. 🚂Best viewed with sound.🎄🎶🎆
Open Day at Eland Publishing in December 2017
It is late November 2017, and I am with Barnaby Rogerson, author and expert on North Africa, whose latest book, In Search of Ancient North Africa – A History in Six Lives, has just been published.
This is the second part of our interview and the focus is on travel writing in general and on Eland, the publishing house where he is a director.
We are in the Eland hub – books are everywhere.
