Oundle was very lucky to have not one but two very knowledgeable authors talking about Russia last night. Keir Giles interviewed Lucy Ash about her new book, The Baton and The Cross. This book examines the Russian Orthodox Church in the past and present, and how it is currently embroiled in Putin's political and military policies. It is difficult to see a positive way forward whilst Putin remains in power. Authors in Oundle were very grateful to Lucy and Keir for coming to speak for us, and the audience appreciated their visit. Thank you to all involved. #oundlebookshop, #russianorthodoxchurch, #russianpolitics, #oundlebusiness

The Frosted Orange (Gortyna flavago) is a common and well-distributed moth with a delicious-sounding name! 🍊 Look out for it this month in rough grassland, woodland rides & edges, disturbed weedy places, ditch-banks, fens, marshes and gardens. 📷: Iain H Leach, Patrick Clement

@DavidBartram_ I like the leaf one, how are the leaves held in place?

Friday evening was a fantastic night, in the company of Tom Surgey, wine expert and presenter, and Philip Amps, with 40 years as our local wine merchant. The conversation and the wine flowed as we enjoyed four samples of wine from around the world. The seats were full, copies of Tom's book sold out, and we all enjoyed a lovely evening. Who could ask for more? @ampswinemerchants; @TomSurgey;

Behold the mighty tower of new releases this week! Which ones are tempting you? 📚
