CharlieG Tomorrow afternoon we’re going to listen to Stuart Maconie talk about his book “ The Full English” at the Words by the Water Festival.
Very entertaining afternoon. Maconie is very much a motormouth who can talk for England but is engaging, insightful, intelligent, a little self-deprecating and above all, fucking funny. The book revisits JB Priestley's English Journey, a kind of travelogue giving an assessment of the state of the country in the mid 1930's, post Covid ( which was coincidental) in the 2020's. Got a copy signed, afterwards and had a brief chat with him. This will be holiday reading material, next week, in Dumfries and Galloway.
