The long unwinding road

Before you get the wrong idea, may I say that this is not explicitly a book about Parkinson's. There is a whole bundle more stuff in it than that. Parkinson's is a theme certainly - I have Parkinson's and with the best will in the world it's hard to shake off its influence on my daily life. But the book goes much beyond there. I have divided the book broadly into three years. This is mainly to give a context to some of the more ephemeral pieces that would otherwise not make sense such as the piece on Brexit in 2016. That probably gives you also a clear understanding that there will be some politics amongst the pieces. Don't be put off. I have balanced it with other less knuckle whitening subjects. There is also a distinct whiff of nostalgia in some of the pieces as I recall my Yorkshire roots. And as if that was not enough on its own, I've even treated you, dear reader, to some of my thoughts on Wagner's music. You lucky people.
