Man, I feel rough this morning. Can't have been the booze last night: I was remarkably restrained (for me).
Must have been something I ate.
Happy New Year, everyone.
Comments:
That'll be a 'four and twenty blackbird' pie then! Happy new Year to you sir.
Hi Richard!
Happy New Year!
I like the pie
Just caught up with your comments on True North - glad you enjoyed it & I accept your point about the amount of Old North stuff mentioned in the book. I think you have to do that, to counter the extraordinary prejudices of the grim brigade. On the greenery, I specifically exempt the national parks etc - the five star stuff - cos its beauty is self-evident and the subject of countless existing books. Doesn't mean I don't see it as an essential part of our region's virtues.
Anyway, many thanks again for getting the book and all warm wishes
Martin
Anyone wondering what Martin is on about might like to check out my mini review of his book. Looks as if I'm going to have to tweak my content management system to allow comments on book reviews.
And for the main course?
You think you jest, Peter Mc, but I'll have you know that the full menu comprised:
- 4 separate appetisers (prepared by Jen & yours truly)
- beetroot soup
- choice of 3 different main courses (including said road-kill pie)
- 3 separate desserts
Beetroot soup? No wonder you felt rough sir.
