A celebrity joins the Pier Cottage Household

Day 6 in the Pier Cottage household and a celebrity has entered incognito. It turns out that the quiet and self-effacing Ewan has a secret side that started to come out during our Picnic Whisky at Hanging Rock trip.

The full story is here, there was me bemoaning the lack of radicalism in modern day students bought up by parents who's idea of agitpop was buying a t-shirt at a Dire Straits' concert.

It would be hard to find a nicer and gentler guy than Ewan so it was the Prime Minister's loss not stopping for a chat with one of his better and more thoughtful electorate. It just goes to show how the Daily Mail, taking a rest from photos of young women in swimming costumes, invents a dramatic story about our Ewan.

I'm looking forward to my week of manchats with young Ewan.
