Hi Moss , I thought he was a great writer ,comes across as a good bloke as well , judging by saturdays guardian obit . I don't accept a lot of the sighting stars across barrows etc , but that's just my view (pun intended ) . The Holbein book was even better than the astro stuff for me .
Hi Tiompan, thats where I lost him 'sighting over barrows', how can you judge the depth of soil in a ditch now compared to when it was dug all those years ago, even the most accurate of maths could'nt have arrived at such a thing. But he was a very clever man, and the Guardian obit, which was better (to which I can't find a link) at least had the picture of the painting by Holbein......
