Continue reading →: Phil Harrison
I struggle to find books that absorb me, but I haven’t given up the hunt. Recently, I discovered a book by a local author, Phil Harrison ‘First Day’. It fully absorbed me from the beginning with the quality of the writing and the unusual storyline. My local library had a…

I visited another Italian food emporium on the Lisburn Road this morning, Antipasto. Their opening hours mean that I can get a good espresso at 10 am. It was empty at that time on a rainy Tuesday, so I got to spread my papers over the central table and do…
