Here's a moment where the men's shed is described. voice-verified

Some of the men who come to the shed are carrying sadnesses they could never let show with women around, and that's just how they were raised. voice-verified

Some still don't let on, even though it's all men there, but there's only so much you can do. voice-verified

Hopefully just spending some time together. voice-verified

Helps, even if not much is said. voice-verified

Not everyone comes who could do with it. voice-verified

There's Alan Jope, for example. voice-verified

But still, there are moments when he feels like something important is happening, although it might look from the outside like nothing much. voice-verified

Some old boy making the teas and remembering how the others like it. voice-verified

A widower asking after another man's wife. voice-verified

Every little detail in this book has voice-verified

things behind it and more and more things. voice-verified

Some people will find it sentimental and there is a lot of English folkiness around it. voice-verified

For example, the Priory, which has been there for well, since before the Normans from Saxons' time. voice-verified

So it was built on a the site of a spring which had flowed right through the kitchen of this priory, which was run by nuns after it had been made by a Saxon princess. voice-verified

So this is all fictional but based presumably on on possibility. voice-verified

And that spring has stopped bubbling up. voice-verified

And tokens that have been put in the river by many hundreds of years of people wishing well or w ill of each other are surfacing. voice-verified

And so things are happening that are on a a subterranean, literally level in the village as well. voice-verified

In the end, I think I like this book a lot. voice-verified
