This is a wonderful book, and the cover alone should grab anyone

I love badgers, deer, and fungi. Probably not on the same plate, though.

This is well worth a read, or a listen. Ideally both.

I have this on audiobook and it's wonderful, but I have a suspicion that the physical book would be even better

This sort of thing does worry me a little, as a professional lurker - I pretty much fit the profile of a bot.

Surely not coincidence that as soon as Gary Lineker announced that he is leaving MOTD, Justin Welby resigned. Lineker is clearly a shoe-in for Archbishop of Canterbury, but I'm not sure Welby could cope with Alan Shearer's banality.
