    Such a pleasant read. If you haven't already, try out The Gallows Pole by the same author. Much darker in tone, but absolutely gripping.

    What's the general feeling in the US about this? I'm assuming that existing divisions will widen, but are there many in the centre who will sway one way or another? I find this both fascinating...

    What's the general feeling in the US about this? I'm assuming that existing divisions will widen, but are there many in the centre who will sway one way or another?

    I find this both fascinating and terrifying in equal measure.

    I thought it was the kind of John Wick style movie where you just enjoy the ride, but at least with a nice little backstory.

    Congratulations mate!

    Make sure you and your partner look after your own physical and mental health.

    When you're a dad, it can get pretty lobely in a weird way because all your energy, as well as your partner's, is focused on something new. So take some time for yourself and reach out if you need to.

    And relax. Babies are actually pretty sturdy, and a lot of fun.

    Good luck!

    England have scraped their way through but they were brilliant against Australia. Hopefully they can use that momentum.

    The idea has already been squashed of a bank holiday if they win. I'm not too sure it would be the same outcome with the men's game.
