To begin at the beginning.......

"To begin at the beginning......."

Such a lovely turn of phrase.......but where does the quote come from? Think Welsh, and try "Bugger all" backwards; maybe think the late, great, actor Richard Burton!! Answers welcomed.

So what can you expect from this Blog? You can expect a reflection of your host/me (James).........Interaction, stimulation, conversation, concision, reflection, provocation, randomisation!

Let the games begin:
You can also expect discussion around current affairs, university/college education, the state of rural communities, travel and the arts....as well as detours, divergence, the arcane, eclectic and downright fascinating or perplexing.

Welcome to my world. Please share your own.

  1. The quote comes from the beginning (of course) of Under Milk Wood, by Dylan Thomas, his wonderful radio play about the eccentricity, and also the poetry, of rural life. I hope your blog will bring us its share of the eccentric and the poetic.

  2. Dear Mark - the Armenian recipes may follow!

    And thanks Phil - 5 points for the literary allusion.....I'll certainly endeavour towards the 'eccentric and the poetic'!

    Best regards to you both......Phil - writer and voracious reader in Winchcombe and Mark - linguist and philosopher in Tynemouth - I think you'd both find a lot in common.......
