Book Group


At Book Group last night we were discussing Defying Hitler by Sebastian Haller.

which is a memoir written in 1939 about the rise of Hitler. We had a really good discussion, not everyone liked it, but I did. The usual mixture of wine, chat and Gwen's cakes! The next book is Pattern Recognition by William Gibson which is a bit more current.

The photo is another of Riddlesden Hall. On my way back from Riddlesden I saw a Red Kite

flying above the woods at Harewood. It is a great sight that used to be confined to mid Wales but is now as common in the Chilterns and the West Riding.
