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 ...

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...
