This is a lovely book. I really enjoyed it—partly, I suspect, because I have a similar sense of humour to that of the author and also because I am generally curious about life. [...] The author is good at explanations. I like that. Eclectic—that’s what this book is. And rambling—in a good way (after all, these are walks). I liked it. I hope Richard Carter is writing another volume of his thoughts. I’ll buy it.

It looks a bit thin and weedy, but I suppose it all tastes the same. Two things I'll always have if they're on the menu...whitebait and rhubarb.
Not together, I hope.
How dare you insult our rhubarb: it was just how it should have been. Forced rhubarb is supposed to be thin!
Impressive that you can grow all that forced rhubarb in a single day.? You must have some pretty fertile soil.
We don't hang about in Yorkshire.
