Holcombe Brook and Summerseat WI

We were a little surprised to receive a Young Adult book as our July book club read. 'Witch and Wizard' by James Patterson tells the story of a pair of siblings Whit and Wisty who race through a dystopian future in which magic is illegal and magical people like themselves are hunted and persecuted. It didn't get a great response from the group and scored a 5/10. Hopefully our next book, 'The Star of the Sea' by Joseph O'Connor will get a warmer response. 

When the Holcombe Moor Archaeological team came to speak to the group last year, they kindly offered to show us around the site when it reopened in summer. So a small group of hardy souls, undeterred by bad weather and equipped with decent boots, headed up the hill to see the work being done. (Others of us relaxed in the hare and Hounds and waited for them to return!) A wonderful opportunity and much appreciated by those who attended!
