A Novel View of Juniper Green
Richard Watt gave an excellent account of the books Misty Morning and Dark Night as part of the history series of talks in Juniper Green
Richard Watt gave a superb exposition on the two novels written in the 1850s with reference to people and events of the Currie and Juniper Green area of that time.
The two books are reviewed elsewhere on this website but more details of Richard's talk can be obtained by downloading the document "A Novel View of Juniper Green (PDF 1.9MB).
At the end of the meeting the chair of the Steering group for JG300 was somewhat embarrassed when Douglas Buchanan presented a bottle of whisky to him and a wonderful bunch of flowers to his wife, Liz Beevers. Liz has been involved with most of this year's activities but most notably through her leadership of the history walks around the village, as one of the authors of the book on the history of the village and as one of those brave enough to open up her garden on August 12th for Gardens Open Day.
