'BOUT TIME...

I have the good fortune to be married to an exceedingly talented writer. Frankly, the early days of our courtship were conducted through blogging. No, let me rephrase that. I fell in love with her in no small part because I loved reading her blog so much. That blog - Darling Vicarage, whose archives you can read here - has been sadly inactive for too long, but happily Ms Paddington (who, fittingly for a woman who has recently married*, has changed her name to Raspberry Beret Girl) is back with a new blog. You can read her thoughts on Black Swan (and I hope, in future, much more) here.

* I should like to point out that this view is not shared by the present writer.
