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.
And season's greetings also to you, sir. I imagie Mrs. Ness has preparations well in hand for your Yuletide pleasure. They do like to spend time in the kitchen over the holiday season, don't they. Leaves time for you to write, so don't neglect your loyal listeners!
ReplyDeleteThanks Newman. Happily Mrs N and I have reached that time of life when the next generation is obliged to entertain us. And a fine Christmas Day it was...
ReplyDeleteWell, I am pleased indeed to hear that. Apologies for typos in my last comment but I started on the bourbon a tad earlier than I should have. I raise my glass to you and the younger Nesses as well as Mrs. Ness, and look forward to 2018 and reading more of your commentary on some of the neat, and very old, churches you have over here and the interesting fabrications they contain, as well as your apersus on England and its fine tradition of literary scripture.
ReplyDeleteWould your wife's Christian name be Loch by any chance Nige?
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
