I’m reading The Violins of Saint Jacques by Patrick Leigh Fermor because I love his writing and came across this in a charity shop. It’s very short so I’m sure there will be something else too…

Mequefreto is a hilarious and enchanting clown show from Brazil. Sadly it’s only on for two more days - catch it if you can. (Suitable for 3+). #edfringe www.edfringe.com/tickets/what...
