Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Just wanted to say how much I had enjoyed reading "Garlick" by John Eccleston on Troubadour Publishing, I think he is a resident of this manor - I heard about the book here on HOL.  It's a beautifully written reminiscence of a childhood spent in a farmhouse in Lancashire glimpsed through memories attached to a 101 objects that had belonged to the farmhouse and his parents.  It is very evocative, many of the objects remind me of my own childhood, and a deeply touching reflection of the author's relationship with his parents and with the house itself.

I would highly recommend it.  My copy will probably be turning up on the bookshelves of Marie Curie on GL see keep your eyes open!

Thanks so much Fred. I also enjoyed it enormously but I’m biased as I’m married to the author! He is indeed local.

He’ll be very pleased when I tell him about this. As you’ll realise you share a name with our son too.
