1. Hot off the press: "Out Of The Fire". A lavishly illustrated selection of 24 metal workers that you will find around the Salish Sea*. I'm 10 mm into it, looks like welders and blacksmiths so far.
* Salish Sea: That part of the Pacific Ocean sort of between the south end of Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland/Vancouver BC and the NW part of Washington State.
2. The Essential Cuisines of Mexico. Diana Kennedy. A meld of several previous volumes and as dull as a wet week. Culinary reference work.

I've just finished "The art of resilience" by Ross Edgley.
I picked it up on a wall in the street, attracted by the title.
He swam around the UK!!
There are a great number of valuable lessons in the book, along with a lot of fitness training (not really my thing). Amongst the science there's also a lot of humour.
Laugh out loud humour.
He comes across in a very determined, tough, curious, yet humble manner.
It's an easy and fascinating read.

He is also very funny to watch on his YT channel - he is currently building for a big swim
Ben Fogle, Inspire, life lessons from the wilderness.
I can recommend this book. I borrowed it from the library, but may have to buy my own copy. Written during the 2020 lockdown, it's an inspiring read, and has a lot of wisdom in it.
When I had a TV, I always enjoyed his programmes, and this book doesn't disappoint either.

Re-reading. If I can get hold of the wood, this winter will be the one for it...
Good book, - I've read his other stuff and they are all solid if you are of a certain mindset.
Was a follower in the early days of his, was gifted the book and a morale patch.
I find him a very interesting guy, and without the political debate there's a similarity to Jordan Peterson
I'd agree - Male identity is in crisis. Anyway - pleased there is another reader here.
