From Across the Pond

We've got two developments from across the pond in the British Isles. First, Saint Blog's is opening a mission there, so to speak. James Peerce is starting a weblog domain for Brits in the Catholic blogosphere. His site is http://uk.stblogs.org/, and James can be reached at "j dot preece at gmail dot com."

Second, and sadly, the Telegraph reports that "Alice Thomas Ellis, the novelist and columnist who died on Tuesday aged 72, wrote drily ironic and acutely perceptive domestic tales which drew on her own family life and her devout Roman Catholicism, and evoked comparisons with Muriel Spark..." She was also a regular columnist of The Latin Mass magazine.
