A weblog by Jonathan Ali


Thursday, September 11, 2003  

"The laureate of the Blackpool landlady, the slightly damp mattress, and the ominous stain on the bedroom ceiling was yesterday appointed watchman over all such treasures - along with Hadrian's Wall, Stonehenge, and the site of the battle of Hastings.

" 'I feel very seriously humble and overawed,' the travel writer, Bill Bryson, said last night after his first meeting as a newly appointed English Heritage commissioner."

-- From a UK Guardian report on American writer Bill Bryson. (Bryson's best-known book gave this blog its title.)
