Leanne,
Yes, he was a witty devil.
I was just looking for something quite different, when I came across this recording of 'Tarantella', in Belloc's own voice. It is nothing like the way I have always read it -privately, I think I am better -- but I thought I would put it up, just because of this sing-song way.
I see Celtic were knocked over by Aberdeen, that must have pleased all closet Gers supporters.....
Cidermaid,
Your children were fortunate to have it introduced early -it seems quite a rarity nowadays -- and you were fortunate to have children who would go along with it!
I like Betjeman, and have 'Summoned by Bells'. He is quite easy to emulate, with that rather fussy, precise voice, and if you write about something quite beautiful, and then work in the 'Number 56 tram to Denmark Hill, or any place-name of your choice, in London, you are home and dry. But he did not write 'A Shropshire Lad'! How polite are Leanne and co, not pointing it out!
