Here's to What Was


Loyal reader: I have decided to retire from active duty. After several years of fun, this will be the last post for The Tweed Pig. There's a list a mile long of things I haven't yet covered, but my heart is elsewhere. What larks we had in that time, eh?

 But nothing lasts really. Neither happiness nor despair. Not even life lasts very long.

I know it's over
I won't fill this final post with sentimental salad, but I would like to thank you all for reading, contributing, correcting and advising over the years.

Special thanks to the generosity and support of the following:
They are all fine businesses with good people and worthy of your wholehearted patronage.
Me, I disconnect from you
What next? I'm torn between plotting to overthrow the government or spending more time pottering in the garden. I certainly plan to be more disconnected.

Never say more than necessary, so that's about it. I offer a heartfelt and gracious handshake.
Raised glass
Here's to what was.


Orpheus Britannicus
I couldn't wind up this operation without indulging in a little music from the original Orpheus Britannicus, Henry Purcell. The absolutely definitive version of Dido's lament by Dame Janet Baker has sat on my 'to promote' list forever and offers a nicely dramatic send-off.

Remember me, but, ah, forget my fate.

    This is almost tragic. Still, it's been good, but such a shame. All the George for the future.
