After years of being out of the loop and suddenly discovering how to work aspects of the internet, I am pleased to see some of my old beavering about still has some currency. I can shuffle off my mortal coil a happy man (eventually). Incidentally I have a shelf full of Robert Anderson books from the early nineteenth century onwards and four ballads in his own handwriting. He still intrigues me and I did a short article on him in Cumbria Life (January) and have been working recently with Professor Mike Huggins at the University of Cumbria on the value of Anderson's work to the sporting historian. Still signs of life in the old dog yet - look me up at www.keithgregson.com. One or two people have expressed an interest in a reprint of my 1980s Corvan book - I only have a couple of battered old copies left now.
