Praise for the Bike Shed

In my years of blogging I've received some generous comments; my thanks to those who took the time and trouble.

'In the evanescent world of 'the bloggers', what distinguishes Mark is an absolute honesty allied to reflective wisdom and a fresh, alert eye. He entertains, yes, and makes us laugh (or at the very least smile ruefully). But beyond that, he reminds us of what it is to be both fully and compassionately human whilst remaining rooted in the world of nature. These posts are a treat not to be missed. And more than that, they're a liberal education. They quietly, modestly, enhance our understanding of the world we inhabit in its every aspect.'
