Priests and friends of every faith. Prayers please for an old, & good friend for half a lifetime. Secondary cancers of a very aggressive form. No more treatment. Not a person of faith but pray he is sustained, strengthened & upheld on his journey.

For anyone who is addicted to summer reading weeks (a la Lytton Strachey) and likes revisiting admired books, Carol Shields' tragicomic Unless (2002) has the funniest scene between an author and her know-it all new editor that I have ever read.

“A trail-blazer for Michael Gove.” Alistair Jack hosts a reception in Dover House, late the home of Lady Caroline Lamb & now the Scottish Office, in honour of Lord Byron, Aberdonian party animal. 2024 is a big year for Byronists: the 200th anniversary of his Lordship’s death
