I like this underground location. I bet Stoke's got a fair few of those Harecastle tunnel and a lot of mine shafts. Is that where they mined the pottery? |

How is an archbishop going to fit this into his theology?

I wonder if this whole thing really was a dream Masefield had one Christmas when he ate and drank too much?
"You're not sulking, I hope?"

'Leading...Not Following' - someone in Australia's actually sending me a t-shirt with that on, believe it or not. I think it's meant ironically. |
