I enjoyed Tom Cox's 'Villager' so sought this out, a crowd-funded, experimental collection of short stories. The author was obviously enjoying himself, and it is the same blend of english folk, landscape and modern intrusions, but the stories didn't really go anywhere. Lovely cover art though. Autumn seems to have arrived, the mornings are mistier and the nights are drawing in, and the house is full of apples after the kids harvested a load yesterday. we took next door's dog out for a couple of walks yesterday too, Libby in particular enjoying it. She is still canvassing for a dog, which I'm sympathetic to, but Fred is against it sadly. Helen spends a lot of time window shopping for dogs that need rehoming, but it's not going to happen without unanimity
