As regular readers know, I do like unexpected references to home whenever I leave Staffordshire.
In a Turkish Cypriot bookshop (in Nicosia actually), I was looking for a book in English to read - but in vain. Then suddenly I spotted 'The Old Wives Tale' by Arnold Bennett - a tale of Staffordshire people by a Staffordshire writer...!
By coincidence, there's a major exhibition soon all about Arnold Bennett. In north Staffordshire of course. Not Cyprus.
Small world, isn't it?
