……I’ve re-worked my ‘Between The Shows’ rhyme…
Digging At The Ness
I heard the thunder
I saw the lightening
I felt the downpour
Digging at the Ness
Hard-baked by sunshine
Then a muddy mire
That we mustn’t walk over
Digging at the Ness
BB – 11th August ‘23
While on the subject of the Ness shop….early Christmas presents?

From 'Unbound'....
“Hi readers,
At Unbound, we pride ourselves on bringing wonderful books into the world. This week we have a brand new launch for architecture lovers which you can read all about below, plus a reminder of some of the fabulous funding books that need your pledge to make them a reality.
MODERNISM BEYOND METRO-LAND
The follow-up to A Guide to Modernism in Metro-Land, Joshua Abbot explores the art deco, modernist and brutalist buildings of London’s suburbs. Taking in the eastern and southern boroughs, the guide will feature art deco cinemas, modernist tube stations, brutalist office blocks, stunning post war houses and much more.
NEW ACCORDION BOOKS
HARE and HOUND
The much-awaited next instalment of folding gift books from Jackie Morris's Accordion Book series. One side is filled with beautiful watercolour images of an animal: sometimes in motion, sometimes at rest. The other is filled with text – poems, descriptions, invocations – inspired by the same animal.
EVERYONE EVERYWHERE: MIXED RACE FAMILY STORIES
Everyone Everywhere is the story of mixed-race Britain, told through entertaining interviews and archival research. It is a tale of love and divorce, birth and death, first days and first dates - all imbued with warmth and humour.
GOLDENGROVE
After the triumph of Poguemahone, McCabe returns with a vicious black comedy set in Dublin in the 1970s in which a theatrical agency acts as a front for British counter-terrorism.
BAGPUSS: THE COMPLETE SCRIPTS
Bagpuss: The Complete Scripts is a joyful and detailed compendium of the iconic animation series, including the filming scripts and never-before-seen images from its original creators.
