It sounded promising to me too, and I gave it a couple of hundred pages before I gave up, baffled as to why it's so popular. Oh well, each to their own...<br />I loved the Cape Wrath story, I hope to visit one day, especially now I know there's a cafe. The temptation of a "restaurant at the end of the universe" is always a spur. I cycled to Ardnamuchan Point in 2006, good cafe there too!<br />I'm a big Facebook fan, and signed up to Billy Bragg's campaign. Nothing like a bit of firm radical action, moving my fingers across the keyboard whilst lying on the sofa. zzzzzzBig Swiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00517517283834444552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2388717540545987605.post-43385247335463647322010-01-19T19:41:01.505+00:002010-01-19T19:41:01.505+00:00:-)

I had been noticing snippets about them in the papers, and thought that they are probably fairly stoical folk, living where they do, so it was hopefully just all part of life's rich fabric . . .Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2388717540545987605.post-51082198769968298632010-01-19T18:16:56.399+00:002010-01-19T18:16:56.399+00:00Hullo Stacy,

Life is strange sometimes; I read that book about 10 years ago and I'm just about to start - well I hope to start fairly soon - the sequel to that weighty beast. Its called 'World without End' and continues the stories of the families involved. But I agree about your recommendation. It was a great read. {and very handy for stopping access to my sanctuary when left behind the door!}Alistairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16667242161539996736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2388717540545987605.post-4997967266847363902010-01-19T17:17:52.093+00:002010-01-19T17:17:52.093+00:00Not related to your entry.

Just want to recommend The Pillars of the Earth, an historical novel by Ken Follett published in 1989 about the building of a cathedral in Kingsbridge, England. When I finished it, I felt I had time-travelled. Great book.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08045334726574030453noreply@blogger.com
