Hack. Lincolnshire. Approximating to human.
“I wonder that so many people have written, who might have let it alone” (Dr. Johnson)
This is where the kind or masochistic can find some of my old and new articles, plus details of my books and other oddments. I have written for all kinds of publications, on subjects ranging from arts and books to politics and topography. These include the Times, Sunday Telegraph, Daily Mail, Spectator, Literary Review, Country Life, New Welsh Review, Chronicles, Modern Age, University Bookman, The Lady, Taki’s Magazine, Spectator Australia, Spiked, This England, Kent Life and The European Journal. I am furthermore responsible for three novels – A Modern Journey, Displacement, Sea Changes, with another twitching homunculus-like into life. My chief areas of interest are English literature, British topography, European culture and history, folklore, and current affairs.

Hi Derek,
Looking forward to your blog… I am sure it will make for interesting readings as do your novels, articles and various Facebook posts….
Thanks, John (rather belatedly) – looking forward to when I can pluck up the energy to blog! But at least I have started to put some new articles up here to add to the older stuff…
