Right, that's it. I'm going on holiday. I'm off to the marsh-cells, the swamp, the clearing, the white fort, the monks, the middle of the plain. I'm not even sure when I'll be back - probably in early August - but posting will be negligible to none till then. I shall be feriate (or on holiday).
I don't know if this blog has any readers in Berlin; but if it does, I shall probably be doing something at the Shakespeare and Sons bookshop on Saturday. I have also finished the new book - The Horologicon - which will hit and kick the bookshelves on November 1st.
Your berlin readers will instantly know the feriate must have the same root as the German word Ferien.
ReplyDeleteHave a good holiday, and congratulations on finishing your new book.
