The weather's been so bad that we actually had frost last week - this close to the sea! So, yes, spring is sprung, the grass is riz and I know where the bloody greenfinch is . . .Dave Leekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17971308602082668644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339839143636242387.post-3803293394840247382013-05-25T22:48:48.018+01:002013-05-25T22:48:48.018+01:00I too mourn the loss, although I had been blissful...I too mourn the loss, although I had been blissfully unaware of the identity of the guy who provided huge contributions to my childhood fantasies. I was well into Greek mythology well before Jason, but it certainly made an impression.<br /><br />Been revisiting the Doors most recently following Ray Manzerak's demize. Yep, definitely time for a new blog.<br /><br />Springs looking well and truly sprung at last :)<br /> <br /><br /> eeyornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15933757489269873196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339839143636242387.post-16391371514205515832013-05-21T04:45:40.381+01:002013-05-21T04:45:40.381+01:00Well I've never heard of them either, apart fr...Well I've never heard of them either, apart from Ken out of Coronation Street. I always blame my ignorance of the 1980s on the fact that our house was declared an 80's free zone at the time. It's like you were in denial that Spandeau Ballet and Nintendos were happening and wanted to shelter me (and yourself) from such terrible, ugly things. In a way it was a blessing that I grew up cosseted by the smooth tones of Sandy Denny and never even knew that George Michael existed, but it's made me a liability in pub quizzes! <br /><br />Well, I'm sorry that your childhood heroes are joining the great eighties disco in the sky with such alarming regularity, but I think it's time for a new blog. Please. It's been ages. x Kate Leekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00448460280108024262noreply@blogger.com
