... and me.

and it arrived at 0710 this morning. Mrs N who normally struggles out of bed to answer the door bell on occasions such as this was out like a light so I had to do it. I think the postie must have thought the grim reaper was opening the door. It looks good but brain only just beginning to get into gear ;D

Botanic Gardens - A Living History
Black Dog Publishing
ISBN 10: 1 904772 72 2
ISBN13: 978 1 904772 72 9

Published 2007
UK £39.95 US $59.95

Waterstones UK stores have reduced price to £6!!! - I'm assuming that copies are being reduced as part of a clearance (I think because of their rationalisation they are off loading books from recently closed stores and are generally seeking to shift over-stocks) I picked up a copy at my local Waterstones today.

Looking forward to rain on Sunday so that I can digest the content.

Yemen, what a country ... Haraz mountains, Socotra, Sana'a, Hadramaut, the empty quarter.... a country of stunning, mind altering beauty...and the friendliest of people.
