Nick read Patrick Grant's book, and loved it. He’s pretty minimalist anyway (N) but he's now obsessed with checking the source of any new clothes, and his ambition is to buy something from Patrick's label! We’d both have loved to hear him speak. I gave up on Tim when his brand Zoe launched their range of nutrient supplement powders - talk about selling out! A complete 180° from what he preaches! And yes, he’s humourless. I agree with Deborah re Michael Mosley.
Patrick Grant was well worth going to see. A powerful message but not without acknowledging that not everyone is in a position to buy quality. Quite agree about Tim Spector selling out and I think of the lovely Michael Mosley every time I stand on one leg to brush my teeth!
I saw David Nichols speak in Crickhowell and thought he was marvellous too! Tim Spector does seem a rather cold fish, though I agree with his ideas, he is certainly not strong on humour! I think this what made Michael Mosley so endearing, he was not only a brilliant communicator, but never took himself too seriously.
How wonderful that you still have your childhood stories! It is very touching and imaginative and very good indeed for a ten year old.
Yes, cold fish definitely describes Tim Spector and I totally agree about the lovely Michael Mosley. Patrick Grant was also surprisingly warm and humorous
Thank you Sheena. When I rediscovered it it made me think how exciting the the thought of staying up all night was when we were children but the reality was probably rather different and scary

I loved the story, it was very well written and actually quite scary!

I enjoyed You Are Here too - although I think I listened to it. I like the inner workings of your ten year old mins too!
I think I would quite like to listen to it. I loved the characters. Not so sure about my 10 year old mind though 😂
