Full Description
Many people as they get older have to face leaving a village or town they have loved, a place redolent with memories and connections, to relocate somewhere more - as they say - 'manageable.' It is different for everyone, and not always easy, for our ghosts go with us.
But everything connects with everything else. There is no such thing as a new beginning. Such a move need not be a matter for repining and regret, but a new adventure.
This book records just that journey, of having to learn that new place to which Time is bringing you - and populate it with its own stock of private memories.
Charles Moseley writes about his move from a fenland village to the nearby historic little city of Ely and breathes life into the history, natural world and people who have made his new home what it is today.
