"A
wrong for every reason,
For
every crime a cause,
For
every error some excuse,
So
tell me, what is yours?"
Dean
Rotting, 1836
Sid, aided by the pointed pen of Augustus Swineherd, evokes
the joys and miseries of our rural past and present.
The seasons roll by, with all their pains and pleasures,
showing that on land and sea people wooed, wed and worked then much as
they do now - albeit without marmite.
So put out the cat (and anything else flammable), pin back
your ears (pins not included), and prepare to spend a year with the
strange - yet strangely familiar - folk of Norfolk.
"Rural calendar customs as lived and sung by St
Just-near-Trunch's own bard. Songs
and seasonal links full of wily wordplay and inspired connections. Surreal,
yet strangely familiar."
(Radio2 website)
"Another winner.
Listen and laugh."
