Places, books and other diversions. Read, bought, recovered. Movember 2012 Tache Tales. A Stray Field in South London. February 4, 2015. I walk past often, but rarely go in. Sitting right on the border of the London Boroughs of Southwark and Lambeth, Long Meadow isn’t especially attractive, but I like the fact that it is there a stray patch of public, tree-lined green space amongst marching rows of suburban streets. Mostly, though, I pay Long Meadow no mind. Dee’s beautifully observed thoughts and descri...

A half-hidden route to the past: Bristol’s Johnny Ball Lane | Richly Evocative

Places, books and other diversions. Read, bought, recovered. Movember 2012 Tache Tales. A half-hidden route to the past: Bristol’s Johnny Ball Lane. December 12, 2016. How one obscure Bristol back-alley runs through two thousand years of history: from Romano-British settlements, to Grey Friars, pauper’s burial grounds, cutpurses and wasted Walnut trees. For a long time it didn’t have a name. It was just the lane that ran along the back of Mum and Dad’s bookshop. Sometimes I’d dare a peek over the top of ...

All back to Asselega’s place | Richly Evocative
https://richlyevocative.net/2016/04/26/all-back-to-asselegas-place
Places, books and other diversions. Read, bought, recovered. Movember 2012 Tache Tales. All back to Asselega’s place. April 26, 2016. Is it possible to be haunted by a place? I think that I might be. I don’t mean in the same way as a ghost; there’s no sudden drop in temperature, accompanied by an uncanny sensation that something else is there, followed by a fractured movement and perhaps a shape. There are elements of nostalgia no doubt, but I always loved the place even when I was young, relatively care...

Chris G. – The Waking Den
https://cianphelan.wordpress.com/author/aurinth
A Home to Creativity. At Faith’s End. March 3, 2016. So apparently the WordPress scheduler failed me. I shall add them to my list and prep the voodoo dolls. Anyhow, as you all know, last month was the grand finale of the Waking Den. But have no fear! I’ve simply relocated, not fallen into the black abyss from which there is no escape. You can find me at the shiny new. Because it’s about time this author had a proper website. Once more unto the breach! February 17, 2016. The Den’s End. In time, I hope to ...

Places, books and other diversions. Read, bought, recovered. Movember 2012 Tache Tales. A dream of a bookshop: Topping and Company Booksellers, Ely. The Topping and Company bookshop in Ely is so good it’s almost laughable. This is the kind of shop that you don’t expect to find in real life; only, perhaps, in a lost Penelope Lively children’s book, or there to be sneered at for its too-good-to-be-true perfection in a Richard Curtis film. January 5, 2014. Behind Bristol’s Closed Doors. April 3, 2013. It’s ...
