Must run to the store and get a copy of Roger Scruton's new book on country life. If it is as good as the hunting book a few years ago, this should be a pleasure.

And I notice the idea of a Young Fogey draws attention again, cheers to that. I made note of the 1984 Harry Mount article on Fogeyism last September, discovering to my glee, that I had become one. The fine, fellow New England, and right-thinking blog Irish Elk makes note of fogeyism here, and points out a blogger by the same name: The Young Fogey's Agreeable World. Good stuff.
