The recent offering by the BBC of the longest running radio serial The Archers on ITunes has delivered it to my IPOD and got me hooked!!! Its like driving into a community that you find off on some side road with people you don't really know but do. So I am getting to know Ed and Falllon, Kenton, Jazzer and the lovely residents of Ambridge and Borchester. It is very interesting how the show is structured - what seems like a very normal run of the mill day suddenly is hit with car crashes, drug addiction, rape, etc - just goes to show what lurks behind those quiet English Country villages.Just finished Sophia McDougall's Romanitas - which is an excellent thriller set in to the present day but based on the premise that thanks to the work of one rather minor Roman emperor - Pertinax - the Roman Empire survives in to the present day - looking forward to reading the sequel Roman Burning.
