Fab to hear Olivia Laing talk about her new book The Garden Against Time, and the process of writing being like weeding and pruning. Nice mentions of Great Dixter and Lowther Castle too. Good hosting, Greg Thorpe, no longer of this Twitter manor. Thx Manchester Literature Festival & CentreForNewWriting!
