    Hi Tim

    I have only just seen your post about Kate. I had been texting her but had no reply. She had told me she did not always feel up to responding so I just kept texting telling her I was thinking about her. Her last text to me was in June. We last met up in Feb/March last year for lunch in Kingston. She was very sad and not coping well that day. I will miss Kate she was a wonderful person and dear friend. We worked together at UCL. She was fun and engaging I always looked forward to meeting her for lunch in Kingston. I am thinking about you and Reuben and wish I had known earlier that dear Kate had passed away. Sarah x

We booked their penultimate trip of the season, from 26 August to 2 September. While the UK endured successive heatwaves, summer in northern Norway had been…

Growth of the Soil – Knut Hamsun

Since I’m heading imminently to Norway, it seemed appropriate to read a seminal work by a Norwegian author. This was my second encounter with Hamsun, having completed his early, semi-autobiographical novel ‘Hunger’ (1890) some 20 to 30 years ago. Knut Hamsun (1859-1952) was originally Knud Pederson, born into comparative poverty in central Norway. Knud’s father…
