Lord Avebury has posted his speech at the Blomfield Award reception on 17 October on his blog.

Let me say without qualification that there’s no honour I would sooner have received that the Blomfield award, established in memory of Sara Louisa Ryan, Lady Blomfield, one of the most remarkable women born in the second half of the 19th century.

Do read the speech. It will give you a deeper understanding of a very special man.

Barney old pal, I just realized that I did not have you linked! Temporary insanity, surely. Sorry about that. I like what you’ve done with your blog by the way.
