As for the two-part themes, my own preference would be to keep them. I think it's something of our signature; I'd rather have a certain redundancy if necessary than give it up, as with our current "children" theme.

Okay: that made me think about it a bit more, and I have come up with:
The end of the road: Finales
Which could cover anything from old age to getting home after a long journey, to the last movement of a symphony (always supposing there was a book about it!).
I do recommend the Blythe book - a similar vein to
Akenfield, so that we hear from people in all walks of life in England at the time.
