what I'm reading

I've got my nose in Dick Durham's book On and Offshore, in which Durham re-explores the Thames Estuary and the coasts of Essex, Suffolk and Kent in the wake of Cowper - I'm enjoying it, and now I'll have to read Cowper too!

I didn't manage to finish Derek Coombe's The Bawleymen - due to a misunderstanding it ended up back at the library, but I will return to it.

Arthur N Patterson's Through Broadland by Sail and Motor, dated 1929 turned out to be an odd little work full of nostalgia and slightly overworked modesty. It should have been edited harder, but I suppose the author 'John Knowlittle' was a star and the book's editors dare not meddle. On balance, it probably belongs best in the collection of a Broadland literature specialist.

.

The next book for me is still supposed to be Adrift in Caledonia.
