A book to pander... England ... it is sylvan, unpredictable, sublime, originative and contradictory - a land of eccentricity and ingenuity, a mix of worlds, practices and lifestyles all enriched and enlivened by an enthrallingly complex past. ![Take the Slow Road: England and Wales: Inspirational Journeys Round England and Wales by Camper Van and Motorhome](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/revue/items/images/010/703/148/web/9781844865352.jpg) ### [Take the Slow Road: England and Wales: Inspirational Journeys Round England and Wales by Camper Van and Motorhome](https://uk.bookshop.org/books/take-the-slow-road-england-and-wales-inspirational-journeys-round-england-and-wales-by-camper-van-and-motorhome/9781844865352?ref=digest.andymarshall.co) Forget hurrying. Forget putting your foot down and racing through sweeping bends. Forget the understeer (whatever that is). Forget the blur of a life lived too fast. This is a look at taking life slowly. ### [Heavy Time](https://uk.bookshop.org/books/heavy-time/9781908058836?ref=digest.andymarshall.co) In Heavy Time psychogeographer Sonia Overall takes to the old pilgrim roads, navigating a route from Canterbury to Walsingham via London and her home town of Ely. ### [Andy Marshall on Twitter:](https://twitter.com/fotofacade/status/1430451124025401349?s=20&ref=digest.andymarshall.co) ““But you do want to find thin places: pockets in the landscape where the membrane is so tightly stretched that other worlds might shine through“ ⁦ @SoniaOverall⁩ in her book: Heavy Time (Beautiful Words)” ## From The Charo's ## Phoenix at Coventry: The Building of a Cathedral, Basil Spence ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/revue/items/images/010/703/296/original/img_2556.jpg) 🏛 This book was bought in a charity shop in Cambridge. It came with two postcards of the cathedral from the 1960's. Also a cut out obituary of the artist Steven Sykes (angel mosaic in the Gethsemane Chapel) and also a cut out from the Church Times 18 Oct 1996 - a review of the book: *Coventry Cathedral: Art and architecture in post-war Britain*. You always get something more with a 2nd hand book. The book itself (if written today) would be a best seller amongst architecture circles - Basil Spence writes poetically about his journey through the process of designing and building a cathedral - how rare is that? ## Hotspots ## 🚐📸 Mostly in North Wales this week with visits to Llangollen, The Rhug Estate, Corwen and the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. ## Llangollen ![Andy Marshall on Twitter: "Llangollen today #Wales… "](https://storage.ghost.io/c/2e/b6/2eb6d776-18dd-41f1-a2d1-b76fa2d605be/content/images/revue/items/images/010/702/800/web/e9jdckwxmbi7kl4.jpg) ### [Andy Marshall on Twitter: "Llangollen today #Wales… "](https://twitter.com/fotofacade/status/1430107786315243521?s=20&ref=digest.andymarshall.co) “Llangollen today #Wales” ### [The official website for Llangollen - where Wales welcomes the World](https://llangollen.org.uk/?ref=digest.andymarshall.co) Renowned for the spectacular scenery, Llangollen has something for every visitor.
