‘Cuttings’ is a selection from Christopher Lloyd’s writings for tne Guardian newspaper. It is arranged to take the reader through the seasons from January to December. He wrote in a way that combined sometimes precise archaic prose and romping colloquialism. But he never strayed from the’nitty-gritty’ of his subject in an easy,lean, conversational style, spiked with his own wit and humour.
