Pavane
Originally uploaded by perlmonger.

A belated note: ramtops and I finally dragged ourselves to the North Somerset show on Bank Holiday Monday; we've been meaning to go for about as long as we've lived here, but lack of ertia has done for us until now.

Monday was a pretty much perfect day though; a mite overcast (though not enough for my not to get slightly burned and be glad of my hat), but warm enough to attract a fairly seething throng.

We wandered, ramtops bought a hat, I bought a wooden spoon (though still not a replacement for the irreplaceable Spoon That Died), we ate some fairly disgusting "food", and we walked back home along NCN33. Oh, and I've added Pavane to my ever-growing to-read list should I ever actually finish Quicksilver (I'm in Lyons, and the king is dead). Keith Roberts was a reactionary arse, but he wrote some fine books nonetheless.

KR was also apparently rather an unpleasant and increasingly embittered person as he grew older - but in Pavane and Kiteworld he wrote two all time classics. Chuck in Weinachtsabend as a superb short story too.
