227. Slightly Perfect: A Lake District love Affair
£18.00
John Anthony C. Cunliffe
It’s 1987, and John and Chris Cunliffe’s first hotel, the Hole in the Wall in Bath, has turned into a disaster. Fed up with corporate hospitality, John had left a successful career within the Forte empire, holding senior positions in hotels around the world, then in charge of catering and banquets for some of London’s most venerable institutions. They had bought an established small hotel in a tourist hotspot popular with Americans – but it was plagued with problems. The Americans bombed Libya. Business plummeted. The roof leaked. Business people stopped doing lunch. Tourists preferred pizzas and burgers. There were staff problems. The accounts were a mess. Then Chris sees a small ad in Caterer & Hotelkeeper. ‘John. Gilpin Lodge is for sale. We need to get out of this place. It’s been wrong since day one. Get up to Windermere today. Get the accounts. See the rooms. You’ve always wanted a hotel in the Lakes. They don’t grow on trees. You know the place. It’s in your blood. Just go and get us out of this mess.’ It’s a pivotal moment in Slightly Perfect, and within months Gilpin Lodge, the Lake District house once owned by his grandmother, where John had spent happy childhood summers, is theirs, and so begins a much-loved lifelong project. . . . more

The long-awaited and much-anticipated memoir from Carlisle-born and bred Grace Dent. From frazzles to foie gras: a memoir of wanting more from an early age, Grace Dent was hungry.

236. The World-Ending Fire : The Essential Wendell Berry
£9.99
Wendell Berry
Wendell Berry began his life as the old times and the last of the old-time people were dying out, and continues to this day in the old ways: a team of work horses and a pencil are his preferred working tools. The writings gathered in The World-Ending Fire are the unique product of a life spent farming the fields of rural Kentucky with mules and horses, and of the rich, intimate knowledge of the land cultivated by this work. These are essays written in defiance of the false call to progress, and in defence of the local landscapes that provide our cultural heritage, our history, our home. In a time when our relationship to the natural world is ruled by the violence and greed of unbridled consumerism, Wendell Berry speaks out to defend the land we live on. With grace and conviction, he shows that we simply cannot afford to succumb to the mass-produced madness that drives our global economy. The natural world will not withstand it. . . . more

247. Highpoints : A 3,500-mile walk from John O'Groats to Land's End via the highest point of every county
£15.00
Victoria Morris
"In the Prologue to this dazzling, formidable journey on foot across the UK via county tops, Victoria Morris remarks: ‘From the time I caught up with reality, I have been completing a mental farewell tour, realising one by one that my childhood ideals no longer exist and saying goodbye to them.’ But this memoir, this homage to landcsape is proof that we can recreate those ideals through the paths we forge, inhabit them fully through writing. Like Nan Shepherd, Morris immerses herself in the hills, staying ‘respectfully on the same side as the weather’, biding her time as ‘the landscape aches past’. She writes as poignantly about power lines as she does about the blush of exposed granite. Her journal is witty, frank and inspiring, alive to the ways that walking changes noticing: how ‘common occurrences become omens’, horizons shift, the ground’s personality alters. Morris started her long walks as a way to fill the ‘mountain-shaped hole’ in her life at university. This book will fill the mountain-shaped hole in your imagination.” – Helen Mort, poet and author of Lake District Trail Running . . . more
