Thank you to the person who recommended #AMonthInTheCountry. It's been on my list for years, you prompted me to read it and I *love* it. Such a lively, natural voice, as if he's talking to his best mate.

Wonderful. #amonthinthecountry 📚💙

The lovely @drlauravarnam.bsky.social saying she has just read this for the 1st time has reminded me it is time for my annual reread. A companion for decades it only gets better.

We can ask and ask but we can't have again what once seemed ours for ever— the way things looked,that church alone in the fields,a bed on a belfry floor,a remembered voice,the touch of a hand,a loved face.They've gone and you can only wait for the pain to pass.

…he might just as well have gone round the corner and died. But that goes for most of us…I go to work at eight and come home at five-thirty. When I retire they'll give me a clock…my name engraved on the back. Now you know all about me. Go away: I've forgotten you already.
