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.
Welcome back, Nige!
ReplyDeleteTerry Wogan died.
Aargh - now you tell me!
ReplyDeleteYou appeared, Nige, to be so engrossed in southern hemisphere bookshop and bug that we didn't like to warn you, not to return at the moment, as the epidemic of named storms, over sixties rigor mortis and European doings had not yet abated. Indeed the sturm und drang swirls around us yet.
ReplyDeleteIt does indeed Malty - and it was a joy to be without TV, the BBC, English newspapers etc for a month. The news is so much sweeter when filtered through the NZ papers and radio (which is like an endless edition of You& Yours, but somehow rather lovely). Like Brit, I was more affected by the news of the great Wogan's death than that of Bowie...
