So ... You're Having a Teenager
'I love my kids with a primal passion but when they hit puberty I wanted to hand them back for a refund. If only I'd had this witty, gritty owner's manual.

A Leicestershire vicar, who describes himself as "not much of a walker", sets out on a five hundred mile pilgrimage in reverse. A pilgrimage doesn't have to end at a distant shrine.

Throw Away Lines
