Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I started Elmet a couple of days ago. Really enjoying it. I didn't know if it would work as a treadmill book (I usually read something like a McDermid), but it's not too heavy to read and walk at the same time. I have been staying on the treadmill longer to finish a chapter.

Er, I should point out that I mean *mentally* heavy, not physically. I read on a Kindle on a tall stand.

How are you doing that? Are you kindling it or holding the pages open or something? Oh, or audiobooking it?

😃 You know when you write something and it's only when you've read after posting it, you realise there was something completely obvious to you which you *maybe* should have pointed out...

Years ago, I read a book about a couple that bought a wreck of a cottage somewhere in North Wales (I think) to live the good life. This was long before it was a trendy thing to do. I’ve no idea what it was called, or who it was by. The only detail I remember was the husband considered the bicycle the finest means of transport available and one of man’s finest inventions. I’d love to read it again. I know it was the title that drew me in in the first place, but I can’t be sure…

The Hovel On The Hill is coming into my mind. Anyone else recall something along these lines?

Blimey, I was right: Hovel In The Hills, by Elizabeth West. I don’t know how I dragged that out of my memory. I think it was 40 years ago at least I borrowed it from the library.
