Mill Road Winter Fair

Mill Road Winter Fair in Cambridge describes itself as a celebration of the area’s community, I went and saw food stalls, musicians, sketchers, photographers, troupes of dancers, a platoon of Roman soldiers, families, and thousands of people.

The road was blocked off and the crowds filled the street and the pavements.

Apparently it is always on the first Saturday in December, which this year fell today the first of December.

Tobias Wolfe

Tobias Wolfe at the book signing after a talk at the Edinburgh Book Festival a couple of years ago. Eighteen months later and I decided to add a few words. I looked up his collections of short stories and see that Hunters in the Snow was first published in 1981.

I am amazed: I don’t see how that can be. I am convinced I read it at an earlier stage of my life, in different circumstances. And that The Barracks Thief was published in 1984. Amazing to me that I was reading these books then; I thought I was heavily involved in getting ahead.
