The Old Forge (Thursday 9th November 2023)

Another rainy day. I did go into Calne to vote in our local election and on the way I had a chat to one of the prospective councillors just after I left the cottage. Most of the acer leaves have now fallen and I gathered a few to photograph in the porch.
In the evening I watched Nandor Fodor And The Talking Mongoose (Simon Pegg, Minnie Driver). I enjoyed it but it turned out to be a bit of a shaggy dog story; less than the sum of its parts somehow.

Lozarithm's Lozarhythm Of The Day:
Frankie Archer - Oxford City (2023)
I recently heard this on The Folk Show and again on Later With Jools Holland. It nagged at me because I seemed to know the song well, but the internet and the site Second Hand Songs didn't seem to know of it. It is indeed a traditional song (Roud 218) but had previously been known as Newport Street, Jealousy, Cup Of Poison and Worcester City, which turned out to be the version I knew from Eliza Carthy's Anglicana album (and also recorded by Nic Jones). Frankie Archer has made a fresh new arrangement of it.
