Yesterday I went for a glorious walk in the sunshine. I went first to a small reserve - pristine, quiet water meadows beside the Cherwell that have never been ploughed. Lots of butterflies. Then I found a superb cedar tree and after that I watched some cricket, the air full of the scent of newly mown grass, with buttercups, daisies, bluebells, dandelions and more around the boundary. Yesterday was a !!! day. I noticed in the papers this morning that there'd been a Budget. Ah well.
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.
I think you've pinpointed the intricacies of the Darling's economic machinations pretty succinctly there.
