Cheers dude! No plans for the hard copy anymore. I’ll stick to the substack I think. Hope you guys are well!

What a beautiful read and the best photos and I remember the hide or one of them at least! Awesome photos of kingfishers too if memory serves me right x

Fascinating read Charlie making ordinary stuff sound so interesting. Love it. Didn’t realise our childhoods had so much in common.

Really great writing again sir! My youth resembles yours a bit, except for the drama...

Hearing your voice bringing your words to life I felt as if I was right there with you. You made me laugh and cry in such a short space in time. It was mindfulness. An escape from the chaos of my world. I can’t wait to hear more. Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece with us x

Perfect reply - that made me laugh more. Maybe I don’t want to be by your side right now!!

I somehow missed the first chapter, so I went back and read it as well. This one really shines, and sets the stage.
