About Me
- Nige
- 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.
Fantastic! Happy New Year, Nige - look forward to your antipodean updates.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot, Nige! You've caused me to violate my resolution to spend less time mindlessly burrowing through the Interwebs in 2016. I just spent half an hour watching YouTube videos of 'talking' tuis. Happy New Year, and genuine thanks for your wonderful blog posts.
ReplyDeleteThanks both. The Tui is a wonderful bird - like a cross between a parrot and a blackbird (of which, happily, there are many here). It's far too heavy for elegant flight and has to flap like crazy to stay airborne, then pause for breath, then flap-flap-flap again - crude but very effective...
