Screenshot of a five star review on Waterstones website for "A Spring Marrying" by Jon Rosebank. “Perfect for a book group as there are so many angles to debate!” I loved this book! I was completely enveloped into Jimmy's world of Devon around 1912. He is a fisherman and part of a crew that sails the smack boats for a living. The historical detail is amazing, and so well researched; the world is so completely believable. Jimmy falls in love and struggles to manage the relationships on land, whereas at sea, he knows his role and is confident. The book's start throws you straight into a quandary with different accounts of a death and from then on, it is a compelling read. There are a lot of characters, but not too many, each with a rich history, and intertwining skeletons in the closet. You felt part of the community, one that grew up together and grew old together. I stayed up until silly o'clock reading it and pick it up first thing the next day as I wanted to know what happened! Jon's writing draws you in - you have to read every word, but they are all worth it. After finishing I was so glad to have people around me to discuss and debate the story - perfect for a book group.
Four star review says, “A good read” An enjoyable story - immersive, with unexpected twists.
Well, I just noticed we have got a four star review along with 27 five star reviews. 😀
It looks a bit suspicious when all the reviews are five stars. 😂

London train at Launceston, Cornwall
Not to mention Bodmin and Truro, nor even Plymouth and Exeter.
Support the restoration of the Plymouth - Tavistock - Okehampton - Exeter line.
Then Okehampton - Launceston - Bodmin

wtf?
Trees planted as part of a nature restoration project on Prince William’s land in Dartmoor national park have been deliberately poisoned with herbicide, sparking outrage and a hunt for the culprit...

As an avid viewer of BBC Spotlight, Exmouth often figures as rather unfortunately being served by the appalling South West Water company.
So it's good to see it getting a positive puff piece. I love it.

Front cover of "A Spring Marrying" by Jon Rosebank. It shows a hardworking Brixham fisherman looking whistfully into the middle distance with shadowy fishing smacks in the misty harbour in the background. In the foreground, a reef knot emphasises the nuatical theme. Additional text is a quote from a review by Angela Graham, author of "A City Burning" which says, "...bursting with nerve and verve,. A historical novel that brings the past alive in human terms and in striking depth.
Back cover of A Spring Marrying by Jon Rosebank. Text reads, "Jimmy Blackbridge is a deckhand, sailing trawlers out of Brixham, Devon 1912-1914. He is engaged to Alice Rogers. At sea, time and tide are the masters and you know your bearings. But on shore Jimmy discovers he is adrift. There is no almanac for the currents that run through the town and if you run foul they break you. This is the story of loss, love, and the struggle to earn a living in the coming shadow of the Great War."
Brand new, #HistFic set in Brixham #Devon

My MP, #KerryMcCarthy - yes, I can still vote in the UK - has posted this on #Fb
She does mention the Portishead project. That's it for the southwest. And I can see #Kernow having an issue with this graphic

I've been asked to do an interview on BBC Radio Devon.
I'd started to think I had done something to offend them as I haven't been asked on since Fitz was on air. 😂
Must try to be my best self.
It's July 3rd at something ludicrous like 6am. Does anyone listen then? 😁

Trouble in Paradise... Landslip closes Dartmoor Line. Seems to be acquiring the Dawlish problem... And no replacement bus service?
And yet no money for SW transit in Reeve's re-wind?

#SouthWestTrains will reach Exeter, at least. And first movement is a replacement bus service.
Oh well. It's a start I suppose...
