September

Summer’s unearthing ended under the blue skies of West London with an unexpected shared appreciation of bus rides round the Bay and a tale of the origins of Ulverston’s Kadampa Buddhist Temple. (This inspired a revisit of the Beside the Seaside chapter from Stuart Maconie’s Pies and Prejudice – Two men meet on a still, silent day in the middle of the desert. Both have their hands on their hats. One says to the other ‘Ah see tha’s from Barra as well.’)

Now, September’s almost through in a blink already, and/so there’s The Apple Situation to deal with, and the region’s autumn/winter programmes to pore over. Time to up tools and get grafting.
