Danielle is just back from Edinburgh where she attended the Carnegie foundation gig at the Scottish Parliament http://www.eventscotland.org/media_archive_display.htm?newsid=5169. She had a chat with Mary Robinson http://www.unhchr.ch/html/hchr/unhc.htm [ex Irish President] which sounded interesting.
I have finished reading our next bookgroup book "The Line of Beauty" by Andrew Hollinghurst http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0330483218/qid=1128532039/sr=8-1/ref=pd_ka_1/202-1662036-0653437 which is fantastic. I think this is the first Booker Winner I have ever read [I only lasted to page 6 of Midnight's Children] For once I understand the phrase "beautifully written" - it is. Recommended.
The photo is from Hebden Bridge. It is an old pannier track, for packhorses with panniers [too narrow for carts], that ran all through the Pennines. It looks to me like the backbone of a dinosaur pushing up through the ground.
