Last week I discovered ( actually my neighbour had told me to go there ) that I live near a very large park, called Osterley Park. I canāt believe Iāve driven/ cycled past this park for the best part of 25 years and not realised it was there. Itās just in a part of London/ Mddx that Iād assumed wouldnāt have such a place ( God knows why Iād think that ) Thereās a stately home and massive grounds, 2 lakes and itās all flat too so handy for me.
Itās become my go to place, where Iāve gone to read a book written by my buddy Toby Strauss, an historical novel about the extraordinary engineer, Isembard Kingdom Brunel, who changed Britain and the world in the 1800ās.
The book is called Iron Will … and itās not ā all engineerāy ā at all. Itās very very readable, so I completely objectively recommend you buy it for people for Christmas!
( and you should go to Osterley Park )
Toby’s book has been published??? I must order a copy!
Yes and itās ever so good!
And available on Amazon!
Itās lovely, just discovered it during lock down
And itās impressive isnāt it! X
