"Carlisle and the Border: A History"
From September 2008, I will be running a 10-week evening class with this title at Trinity Adult Education Centre in Carlisle. This course was previously run at William Howard School in Brampton in 2005 and at Trinity in 2007.
Cumberland News correction
From today's Cumberland News: "In last week’s review of The Border by Anton Hodge it was said he had met a “dog of a landlady” in Berwick. Anton wishes to point out that he was in fact referring to the landlady’s dog, which appeared to open the door to him and his companion." (Added 08.06.07)
I did not say that - misquoted by the Cumberland News!
This weekend's Cumberland News has a review of the Border, but alleges that I used a rather insulting phrase when talking about the Bed and Breakfast landlady in Berwick. I just want to make it clear that this phrase does not appear in the book anywhere! I think the reviewer has misunderstood something somewhere... (Added 02.06.07) The full review can be seen here. (Update - The Cumberland News will be issuing a correction to this piece- see item above. They have now updated their website)
