Thanks, Paul Weston - I’m delighted you enjoyed it. Such a vast and technical topic, but the underlying story of fire, upheavals, drownings and emergence of life is the most dramatic I’ve ever come across. It’s just a question of excavating it from the strata of jargon!

Thanks for mentioning my book, Paul Cheney. Hope you are enjoying WBoB. It was an epic journey of learning and enjoyment, trying to unearth the amazing 3-billion-year story from its crust of jargon.

Perfect Easter Sunday stroll Christopher Somerville recommends this circular route along #ThamesPath from Hambleden to Henley via Aston. Views of the Chilterns and 🍻 🍔 at The Flower Pot pub. It's a great route from Henley too. Chilterns Treasures ExperienceHenley

Thank you for your lovely words to frame the song, Sara Mohr-Pietsch. It was just a plain little guitar song until June Tabor and her musicians transformed it into something haunting. I love the piano like drops of icy water, and Andy Cutting’s ‘barely there’ melodeon.

Twenty of Christopher Somerville favourite #walks for the New Year in The Times and The Sunday Times includes Chalton Down Visit Hampshire and Ellastone with the Weaver Hills Enjoy Staffordshire - bit.ly/48pdBIl

Thanks, Ivan McDouall! Glad you enjoyed it, wet and mud notwithstanding. That Arlingham peninsula in a snaky bend of the Severn is wonderfully moody, isn’t it? Happy New Year!

Glad you like my writing, CPRE The countryside charity! Lathkildale is a remarkable limestone gorge, especially when the river is roaring through in flood.
