Quite brilliant. I imagine all the women and children were in a nice hut, keeping warm, as they were not at Stonehenge.

If you’re not familiar with what I do (and with apologies to those who are), a brief rundown of the individual books follows. Tl;dr: nature writing but funny.

Light Rains Sometimes Fall is an urban nature diary, the year divided into 72 microseasons. A book you might want to read through the year. Peregrines, blue tits, oaks, bees and a surprising cormorant (although probably not quite so surprising now, I suppose).

Why Do Birds Suddenly Disappear? is the story of my return to birdwatching after an absence of 30+ years, and specifically of the year (2016) in which I decided to try and see 200 species of British bird. Childhood memories, some music, a lot of birds.

What it does remind me of is the convent and nuns in The Devils (of Loudun) by Ken Russell. All that white masonry…..
