The latest news from the Shambles is that my new book has arrived.
In the shadow of “The Shambles” is a personal collection of stories taken from my scrapbook journal that spans many years. It is an honest recollection of the sad and happy times that Michael have shared over 43 years right up to his death . While Michael documented the garden from a scientific and historical perspective I have always been writing more personal feelings . Many people knew Michael through his work as a local doctor yet he always kept his private story well hidden . He refused to be defined by illness and disability which is admirable. However, as Michael’s enabler and carer for decades we had to navigate around a lot of tough times. Luckily we had the garden . So this book is a love story set in a garden.
The book is for sale directly from Kyleigh
