'Yes!!!' I thought, with all those exclamation marks. These people are doing A Good Thing.

But then I realised they'd done this thing about grammar as a wheeze for a travel book, a bit like that fellow who travelled round Ireland with a fridge so he could call his book Round Ireland with a Fridge. I would have liked them to be proper eccentrics reported on by somebody else.

About Me
- floating boater
- Two blogs now. Floating Boater is mostly about our life on the waterways of Ireland on Winter Solstice, our timber cruiser. She's a Rampart 32 built in 1969 in Southampton. She was one of the last this size to come out of the Rampart boatyard – plastic was the material of the future. So a classic but with a definite sixties bent. Every summer we take off on the astonishingly varied waterways of Ireland and enter another, sweeter world. In between I tend my vegetables, look after our acre or so of garden in East Clare, write poetry, and teach and play flute. I occasionally have to do other paid work too. We're on the move from our present house and I have a new acre to begin. So Mucky Fingernails is the gardening wing. It's a record of the creation of a new garden, starting from an open field.
