Posted on Mon, 14 Apr 2025
Your Bojo series has been a great one, although I have to say that in the light of the excesses of American politics at the moment Boris and his Conservative reptile friends seem positively friendly, honourable and uncorruptible by comparison to...

Yes, a nice description of a beach at that time and place. I like the title, 'Where Maps End' particularly. There is some of that feeling at most coastlines, and deserts too. Perhaps that is part of the trouble with the modern world ; the maps...
