He's a very good writer, saw him at a lecture last year pulling apart the goddess theory; a gentle man is how I would describe him fascinated by his subject. Had some problem with giving the lecture, getting over a brain tumour I think he said, but he said he could'nt hear very well because of it. Which is completely off the subject but Stuart Piggott also wrote a good book entitled "the Druids" 1968 I think which gets back to the subject...

...a gentle man is how I would describe him...
Yes. I went into a pub in Devizes a few years ago and he was sitting alone in the corner. I recognized him, and nodded, and he invited me to join him. We spent a pleasant half hour or so chatting over a couple of pints. He is, as you say, a gentle man - also a little quiet but with such depth of knowledge. A very special person, and I hope he is now fully recovered from his illness.

Piggots book was good (and he was once a Wantage boy so I'm biased!)

I thought modern druidy was about mead and getting 'sloshed' eight times a year?
(maybe I've met the wrong ones)

Off to 'Getafix'
