This coming Saturday (22nd June) sees the launch of the book, Rural Reading. The book itself is a small selection of the almost 1100 articles written for the column in the Evening Post for over 20 years.
To celebrate its publication the author and illustrator will lead a walk from The Christchurch bridge on the north side of the Thames in Christchurch meadows. (we’ll set off at around 12:00)
Copies of the book will be available to buy, and if you would like you can have them signed on the day. There will also be cake, and other refreshments.
Most importantly though will be the chance to join a group of people and go for a walk around some of the open spaces the author wrote about, the Dannal, View Island, the Mill stream and the Last hope sluice, Kings meadow, Reading’s last Elm, The Coal Woodland, Kings Meadow baths, Kennetmouth and the Horseshoe bridge and of course the River Thames itself.
