He praised Romany who he had met being born at a similar time. Grandfather recalled ' He was a most unconventional parson which probably had much to with my admiration being a rebel against tradition and the cobweb covered creeds and dogmas of established churches. He was a great lover of nature, animals and birds. A man of tolerance and wisdom and radiated a spirit of kindliness rarely encountered even among the teachers who propagate the gospel of Jeses (not the Pauline Christ)<br />Deborah Hamilton , grand daughter<br />dhamiltonviola@hotmail.com Deborah Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08642647704482097600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955844379699946887.post-40553447474380033322010-10-26T19:40:59.885+01:002010-10-26T19:40:59.885+01:00Thank you, Brookie.

He was indeed an interesting man, although I admit that I wasn't aware of him before visiting Wilmslow, which was only by chance as I was flying from Manchester the day after. But then, many discoveries we make are by chance.</b>Dr Tony Shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07565448709541046337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955844379699946887.post-72269858763884968682010-10-26T10:22:47.368+01:002010-10-26T10:22:47.368+01:00Dear Tony

It's rather nice; the use of colour and assonance give it the feel of the countryside. I have the feeling Romany would have approved.<br /><br />My grandfather is a cousin of Romany's (presumably a couple of times removed), and the example of his famous relative led him to pursue a career in the BBC. Indirectly, he's a man who's had a significant influence on my life, but I don't know a great deal about him. Blog posts like this are very helpful to me, so thank you.David Anthony Evensnoreply@blogger.com
