    Interestingly Ziggy, I live quite close to Winchelsea, where he's buried and the inscription is in Gaelic. There was a real palava when he died as he was a staunch Catholic and the churchyard is C of E, so it was a while before they would let his family to put up the stone.

    I had a long telephone conversation with him a few years before he died and although it was mainly serious, he was very funny at the same time.

        I love taking photos but I tend to run away when the camera is pointed at me. Here's a picture starring a moody Vesuvius with me skulking in the foreground. Alice will recognise the hotel - she's stayed there too.
