Tues 23rd Nov: Lev Parikian - A British Year Through Japan's 72 Seasons

Join Lev Parikian (bird-watcher, nature writer and conductor) as he discusses his wonderful new book, Light Rains Sometimes Fall: A British Year through Japan?s 72 Seasons. By turns reflective, witty and joyous, this is both a nature diary and a revelation of the beauty of the small and subtle changes of the everyday.

He adopts the structure of the traditional Japanese calendar with its 72 micro-seasons. He charts the changes that each of these ancient microseasons (of a just a few days each) bring to his local South London patch - from the birds nesting in his garden on Knights Hill to the woods at the top of Streatham Common and the foxes of West Norwood Cemetery.

Location: Dulwich Books, 6 Croxted Road, West Dulwich, SE21 8SW

Time: 19.00 ? 20.30

Price: ?5 (Admission) / ?17 (Admission + copy of Light Rains Sometimes Fall, RRP ?14.99)

  Or turning left, continuing on down Forest Hill Road and turning right further up. Google maps has Dulwich marked at the junction by the old Grove, where the South Circular heads off towards the rest of Dulwich. But whatever, yes you can definitely get to Dulwich by going in the direction shown on the signpost! I'm not sure you would get "anywhere" by going straight down, though, let alone 23 miles down 🤣 I like the "Now here" though!

  There is no doubt that Labour's doom mongering when it came into office spooked the markets. Plenty of analysts and businesses said so pre-budget. And why the budget was leaked so much before its announcement, I do not know. Honestly, whoever is in charge of comms really needs to get the boot. I am so sick of hearing them bang on about 14 years of Tory decay - Labour repeatedly pressed the Tories for longer, more astringent lockdowns. It's largely thanks to the furlough scheme that we're in so much debt. I was such a staunch lockdown supporter at the time and now, looking back, it seems draconian. We're still paying the price in so many ways.

  Dulwich is a slightly ill-defined concept. I think this definition is "Dulwich Library" via Barry Road

  And for the crooked temporary Christmas Mail staff... Who I've seen holding envelopes up to the light to check their contents.
