You swine Turnball - i had to look up the meaning of bronzage - thats another word just dropped out of the other side of my brain.
Another good piece.
Never too sure how the mix of soporific drugs and long distance walking ever meant the Romantics managed to get anywhere at all...or perhaps it was all a dream
Did once deploy a comparison of sunset light over Rannoch Moor with the bronzed and lightly clothed Charlize Theron in a then current sunscreen ad but the editor took it out. Joy of Substack my dubious taste similes stay in
The opiates meant Coleridge was pretty much over as poet and as long distance walker age 31 in 1803. Wordsworth went straight and just dosed up on tea. (His expenses for tea £20 a year matched the rent on Dove Cottage.)
A fine tale, well told, but dashing around the countryside has never been my scene. Why the hurry? Too much to see and maybe hear - and on that coast never too far to get to a sea cliff for adventures on rock.

More often seen in French sunscreen ads but is technically a valid English word. Perhaps. Anyway the pun was too seductive.
Ada. Unlikely to be seen in a UK sunscreen ad, the commercial run would be too shortlived

I'd rather die of exhaustion than fall screaming into the sea. It's a matter of personal preference.
