Originally from Speyside, Andrew S. Loveland currently lives in Dublin and blogs on the morally ambiguous and spiritually bereft, of which the city can boast several. Straddling sruth na Maoile, Andrew writes primarily about politics both here in Ireland and in his beloved homeland. His first novel, entitled ‘The Sound of Abundance of Rain’ is available to purchase in the Kindle Store now.

When not contributing to his blog, Andrew can be found either shouting at the sea or apologising to her, depending on his humour.

    I must tell you how much I love the name of your blog! I read aloud the poem, because it’s not the same otherwise, and smiled widely all through. Thanks for visiting my corner of the internet today, and for giving me a smile to start my day.

    • Many thanks for stopping by. Jabberwocky should only ever be read at the top of one’s voice. Or better still, the top of Brian Blessed’s voice!

  3. Your blog name certainly drew my attention. Anybody you’re told to beware of is somebody you have to check out, right? My favorite poem to recite aloud . . . .

    • Remains my favourite poem in the English language. Thanks for checking out the blog. Hope you found something of interest.

  4. Thanks for visiting my blog, and for writing your too. I love that you are in Ireland. I’ve been there, but not where most people expect.

  5. Well, your About page is just fabulous – so glad you chanced upon my corner of the blogosphere.

    Let the character assassinations begin! (Starting with that angry elf…)

  8. Thanks for the follow over on my blog. I can see I have a lot of interesting reading to do here. Just reading Carroll’s words in the poem, oh such delicious words, that you’ve included here is enough to make me come galumphing back for more.
