Re: [SOLO] Lavengro: The Scholar, The Gypsy, The Priest, by George Borrow-ans

Sections 70 and 71 are fine and I’m glad our hero survived! Mrs Herne and her grand-daughter are certainly two "pieces of work", aren't they? No "hearts of gold" there! This work is such an odd amalgam of the highly believable and the highly improbable, that it's really very har...

Re: Hello from New Zealand

A warm welcome from me too, Jade. I'm in Melbourne, Australia (born and bred here), but have a son (an orchestral musician), daughter-in-law and two grandchildren in Auckland, so we typically visit Aotearoa twice a year (and what a beautiful — and welcoming — country it is, I must say). There are mo...

Re: [SOLO] Lavengro: The Scholar, The Gypsy, The Priest, by George Borrow-ans

Fortunately, there are more chapters to inspire you. Indeed. I'm actually a few chapters ahead in my recording of where I'm at in my editing, so I know the 'road movie' goes on at least for a while. I'm not going to be able to work on this project for the next three days, as I've got a little road ...

Re: [SOLO] Lavengro: The Scholar, The Gypsy, The Priest, by George Borrow-ans

I can relate to the joys and interesting encounters while walking. Ha! Indeed. At the moment, it does look like this is turning into a bit of a "road movie" à la 1820s. "Before Jack Kerouac was On The Road , George Borrow was On The Bridle Path ..." It's going to be very hard to...

Peter, I hope you didn’t have to live as frugally during your writing days!
My writing days are still very much alive — but yes, thankfully I'm fuelled by more than bread and water. Marilyn's home-made muesli is a terrific stand-by at any hour of the day, I find!

Re: [SOLO] Lavengro: The Scholar, The Gypsy, The Priest, by George Borrow-ans

I am MCing 2 projects about London both read by Peters and I actually thought I'd posted in "The Olde Cheshire Cheese" thread - he's a Londoner and it was more a query - I'm also listening to his "Old London" at the moment too. Anne Glad to hear I'm not the only one who ties him...
