He is very special to me. Interesting that you made that connection.<BR/>DAPHNE Well if you can drop names then so can I! I have met the pop singer Lulu twice and on the second occasion she kissed me!<BR/>KATHERINE ...Against the dying of the light. You also made that connection?<BR/>ARTHUR McGough is just a young lad compared with you! Why don't you crack out a couple of poems in your blog about life in North Yorkshire? At times you actually seem like Wm Wordsworth on your rambles by the Swale and through Easby Abbey grounds - raging at the dying of the light!Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-552238701418196092008-12-07T17:00:00.000+00:002008-12-07T17:00:00.000+00:00it's a bit bloody late for old Goughy, he must be ...it's a bit bloody late for old Goughy, he must be 103...Arthur Clewleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09899298157515419564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-43682852773480240302008-12-06T23:54:00.000+00:002008-12-06T23:54:00.000+00:00Ditto Plague!
