Just been re-reading some of my rambling on here - came across this one http://lendal.blogspot.co.uk/2006/10/plans-plans-plans.html
particulary the bits about James Boswell. Went for another wander on Thursday & in The National Portrait Gallerey found the man himself...
Looked deep in his eyes and told him I KNOW him now - I'm up to 1778-1782, when his father dies & he becomes the Laird of Auchinlek...he really was a bastard to his wife and kids (not in a harsh brutal way - just lack of contact)...prostitutes... alcoholism...a father who patently is more than dissatisfied with his offspring...BUT he does recognise this...to quote
"It is unpleasing to observe how imperfect a picture of my life this journal presents. Yet I have certainly much more of myself thus preserved than most people have."
