In fact I'd read most of the Evans before I left and finished the Macintyre on my return. This may seem a lot, particularly for anyone who's holidaying with small children, but when you get to my age there's now much else you'd rather do and I'm forcing myself to read faster. And the weather was pretty much like the UK so that helped.David Hepworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05973053694541321308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38548109.post-37860369063170175322015-08-10T16:15:28.342+01:002015-08-10T16:15:28.342+01:00Blimey!
