About Me



Um...
Er, I once found a doll's leg at the top of a mountain, and at the time I thought the location and lack of remaining doll rather beautiful. I buried the leg beneath some loose earth. In the years since, however, I have thought about it less and less. There are other stories, such as the time I saw a chaffinch and the occasion on which my Uncle sneezed and blew the tobacco out of his roll-up, but I hardly think these would pass muster in our high-octane times. It's all Nigel Mansell and Space Invaders these days isn't it?
Did I tell you about the time I saw a chaffinch?
Or was it a vulture?
