The Parish Pump pages of the Sussex Express rise high above their usual banality with an item about a Canadian author and swimmer, Rick Taylor. I suppose a North American counterpart to the late Roger Deakin, author of Waterlog: A Swimmer's Journey Through Britain. According to the Rodmell and Southease Parish Pump correspondent: "Taylor, a Canadian writer from Ottawa...is in the UK to research his latest book Water And Desire – about swimming with writers and mortality... he swam from Rodmell to Southease bridge, thinking about Virginia’s last walk to the river".
