Anything to do with gardening: TV, radio, NGS as I only have a tiny patio bounded by a raised garden: Wall Germander, Hyssop, Monarda, pinks and a single Gertrude Jekyll rose, hence my username (I was nursing the cuts when I had to choose a name). My reading over the winter/ Christmas: Grisham, Annie Proux, Cranford, nothing too demanding. Another history lover here: my ears still prick up if anything comes up in the news on the Anglo-Saxon period, though my degree covered a wide range of subjects. We look out for archaeology if there is anything to see whilst on holiday, though I get the inevitable, "it's just a field" from my other half (Yeavering, Breamish valley). North East folk music on youtube; last night I listened to Waters of Tyne, Andrew Ashwin; Fareweel Regality, Terry Conway; Ma Bonny Lad, Onion House Band, and Kathleen Ferrier; Close the Coalhouse Door, Alex Glasgow (childhood classroom memories). Like to dip into poetry now and again, but not knowledgeable: Little Gidding, The Tin Wash Dish. Walking.
