Now appreciating that the post did not try to imitate any other style I might recognise, and a stop at heronfoil continued that distinct voice, content with its own register rather than borrowed from elsewhere is content with real authorial presence and this site has clearly developed that presence through what feels like patient editorial work.
A piece that demonstrated competence without performing it, and a look at heronfoil maintained the same self assured but unshowy register, the gap between competence and performance of competence is one I track and this site has clearly chosen to demonstrate rather than perform which I find much more persuasive as a reader.
