Keep Your Head Up
Tucker feels like celebrating because suddenly he’s on top of the world. He’s just received an email saying his novel, his baby, the thing that’d consumed him for roughly the last sixteen months, through good times and bad, has won a contest for first-time novelists and will be published by the end of the year. He is, for lack of a better phrase, beside himself. Ecstatic. Deranged, almost. Who knows what this will do for his writing career? Tucker certainly doesn’t.

Maybe that’s because, most of the time, there’s nothing much to do but watch.
This is the Preston New Road anti-fracking protest. And the protesters have been here for 65 days now.
“We all have a chat and hear each other’s life stories, and how each other got here. There’s a mixed bunch of people from all sorts of lives,” Nick says.
“We get people come past shouting ‘get a bath’ and ‘get a job’. They think we’re all activists, pro-activists, but we’re not. We’re
