I can't say I'm very interested in when he was shagging who and all that but I did like the chance to see some lovely colour photos of him - usually we see him looking so gloomy and black and white. I didn't know he had a taste for pink jumpers and yellow socks and all that but somehow it makes more sense. <br />xRachel Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803852725693518924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564859019305736550.post-83326504384046499552010-12-08T08:21:57.657+00:002010-12-08T08:21:57.657+00:00Pip's a fave of mine, too.

He was and is a popular poet (as poets go) and for me he could do it all (light/dark, quick/slow, funny/deadly serious, dead arty/barely art at all). <br /><br />xRachel Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803852725693518924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564859019305736550.post-72314523023763538512010-12-08T04:33:27.200+00:002010-12-08T04:33:27.200+00:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Enchanted Oakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14815997287116818456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564859019305736550.post-41891447374157209212010-12-08T04:33:02.452+00:002010-12-08T04:33:02.452+00:00Oh, here's applause from California!
