5/27/2023 0 Comments Days by Simon Moreton![]() ![]() There are tales of empty mansions, of being bullied cooking with his Dad, messing around with his brother, exploring forests being an adult faced with an ill father history and folklore of the Clee Hills of high-society scandals, prejudice and fear industrial decline and automation haunted cliff faces working on a radar station of being a kid, of hospitals, of growing old, of the seasons passing, of his family, of his father and his kindnesses of how he became whatever it is he was, and how this big hill was a backdrop to so much of it. The story centres around Titterstone Clee Hill, and Caynham, the nearby village in which the author lived as a child. His death sent the author back to his childhood home in rural Shropshire trying to process his grief by revisiting his family's time as transplants to the countryside.
