I've joined a book club and we're reading John McGahern's That they may face the rising sun. It's a story of a farming community in the west of Ireland around the 1950's. Not much action but plenty of atmosphere.

I get almost all my books in charity shops. if there is one that I want particularly I always look on Amazon. There are loads to be had there for as little as a penny plus a couple of pounds postage.

I think it's an alleyway Maggie, they have snickets, ginnels and in Sussex we have twittens.

Thanks, Hawkweed, I thought it must be something like that, but I thought maybe it might be underground. He also mentions 'walking across the walls' several times in getting across the city of York???

York is a walled city and you can walk right around the city on the walkway on top. York is my favourite city in England and I hope to revisit before I get too ancient.

The city walls - City of York Council
