It was a Bank Holiday weekend in the UK, with long walks during the intermittent rain and showers and some hard work on one of the October Books – Long Live Great Bardfield: The Autobiography of Tirzah Garwood. Each chapter will be preceded by a photograph of Tirzah or one of her wood engravings, or a wood engraving by Eric Ravilious (whom she married in 1930). This is The Grandmother 1929. It’s rather how some of us feel after a busy weekend.
