Good work Dougie. I think if we switched off all social media the world would slip back in time thirty or so years and leave us all feeling the better for it. Fountain pens, thank you letters and steam trains is about as far as I want to go.

Enchanting Turlough. Quixotic

Very entertaining read
Posted on Fri, 14 Nov 2025
Very entertaining read Turlough, a sort of barnacled Judith Chalmers travelogue of one of the great cities of the world. Going back is always a disappointment, because we can never avoid looking at what we see through our triple glazed nostalgia...
