Reminds me of little boy i was "watching" in spain. His favourite trick..careering across the patio and smashing full-speed, arms raised, through the bead curtain into the cool shade of the houae...yep, one day the door behind the curtain was shut. He'so.k now, grown to a handsone 19 hands, but still has a wary look about him... I know the feeling, i once walked into a lamppost.
Nige, who, like Mr Kenneth Horne, prefers to remain anonymous, was also a founder blogger of The Dabbler and a co-blogger on the Bryan Appleyard Thought Experiments blog. He is the sole blogger on this one, and his principal aim is to share various of life's pleasures. These tend to relate to books, art, poems, butterflies, birds, churches, music, walking, weather, drink, etc, with occasional references to the passing scene. His book, The Mother of Beauty: On the Golden Age of English Church Monuments, and Other Matters of Life and Death, is available on Amazon or direct from the author.
A mournful and cautionary perspective.

Good Lord! No I hadn't seen that before. Hope the cats were handsomely rewarded... Thanks Jerry.
