Walking Dorking to Guildford (13 miles)
On a beautiful day in late-summer, a walk from Dorking to Guildford, mainly along the North Downs Way. Pictures taken with a Pentax zoom lens (as an experiment). More pictures here.

Books
A wonderful read is Justin Cartwright’s The Promise of Happiness, a fine English novel about a dysfunctional family – something I know a lot about!
Also recommended is I’m Not Sacred by Niccolo Ammaniti, a tense story set in Italy about childhood.
And I finally finished a wonderful collection of short stories called Stories to Get You Through the Night, published by Vintage Classics, and which contains the fabulously funny short story A Convalescent Ego by Richard Yates, in which the couple are called Jean and Bill and the son is called Mike! -

Inspector Montalbano is back!
The wonderful Inspector Montalbano is back for a new series, Saturdays on BBC4. A terrific first episode marred only by an implausible ending. Wonderful acting, lots of fun and warmth.
