Reading for a rainy Saturday on Hefted, from @GeorgeKitching "The name John Pepper is largely lost in Lakeland literary circles. But his ode to Cockley Beck, where he spent six winters engaged in a search for meaning, is a classic of nature writing..." hefted.substack.com/p/cockley-beck…

Lovely linescape from Mark to accompany a forthcoming Hefted piece from @GeorgeKitching about the little-known John Pepper masterpiece, 'Cockley Beck: A Celebration of Lakeland in Winter'.

Named for a tragedy & rocked by a murder, serene Brothers’ Water hides its secrets below the majestic cliffs of Dove Crag. I walk up to the cave called Priest Hole and tell Dovedale’s stories. #LakeDistrict #Cumbria @keswickbootco @walkingbookscom lakelandwalkingtales.co.uk/murder-in-para…

Just want to say a huge thanks to everyone who has bought and read my books. It’s insane how much love they’ve had and still get - almost every day I get letters from readers, and the sales figures are nuts. A big grateful THANK YOU from me.
