Westerns worth watching

Seems like the western is back and mostly with a vengeance. A swathe of thrilling, visceral, emotional stories about people at the limits of their physical and emotional endurance - what's not to like? The Homesman - 2014 The Dark Valley - 2014 Slow West - 2015 The Salvation - 2015 The Revenant - 2015 The Hateful Eight - 2016

Reading Tip

A Whole Life by Robert Seethaler In the shouty world of overchoice, here's a calming read for Hunter Decorators everywhere.  Our motto is 'Manliness within Reason' and this novel embodies it. It's deep without being corny, emotional without being sentimental and profoundly masculine without being macho. You don't have to love the mountains to appreciate the story, but it helps and it's also better in the original German if you fancy dusting off that GCSE.

A School Report

Put your thoughts down on paper. You can shine. It's meant to be hard. Ask questions. Make sure you understand things. Learn from your mistakes. Don't be too quick to understand the issues. Slow down a little. Be punctual. Time is precious. You are doing fine. Be interesting.
