Can I have a word with you?

Claxby Pluckacre is such a wonderfully rustic place name that I am sure it cannot be beaten. Certainly not in Lincolnshire it can’t. Mind you, there are one or two which come close. Take Bag Enderby and Hagworthingham for a start. Then there’s Hogsthorpe and Scremby. When I was a teenager, we used to travel in the back of a van to a disco in Scremby. Even before we got there, the name suggested somewhere seamy, dodgy, even dangerous. And, fortunately, it lived up to its name.

For really down-to-earth place names, however, you need to travel further south to the fens below Boston to enjoy the delights of Cowbit, Dogdyke, Pinchbeck, Clenchwarten, Tongue End, Bicker and, my all time favourite, Whaplode. As a fourteen year old, I knew these words intimately. They were on a map which was displayed on the back wall of my fourth-year form room at secondary school. They were as magical to me as the names of the sea areas on the shipping forecast. I would chant them like a litany under my breath. When I started going out with a girl from Moulton Chapel (between Cowbit and Whaplode), it felt preordained. A weekend bus journey to meet her at the cinema in Spalding allowed me to see all of these places in the flesh. It was like a dream come true.

At about this time, an interest in the sounds of words was also a requirement when it came to making up names for pop bands. Inspired by ‘Dip Dazzle and the Indicators’, we came up with ‘Steve Pebble and the Cliffs’ and ‘Plinth and the Magic Things’ but it wasn’t until Dave, a friend, came up with ‘H Bomb Ferguson and the Fall-Outs’ that we knew we were onto a winner. In fact, I didn’t think that this name could be beaten until another friend, Steve, came up with the following only this week: ‘Doppelganger and the Hidden Ears’. Now, isn’t that a corker?

Some words are so suggestive that they are like invitations. Take ‘Catskin Lane’, for example, a small lane between Walesby and Tealby. Who would not be tempted to seek this out on first finding out about its existence? It is so delightfully macabre and brings to mind a vision of hedges strewn with cat pelts like articles of clothing on a pre-industrial wash day.

A similar thing happened to me recently when I heard someone on the television talking about wood sorrel. They had been foraging in a wood and had picked some wood sorrel leaves. ‘They’re marvellous in a salad’. That’s what they said. ‘Really zingy.’ That was temptation enough. I had to go to find some. And now, having tracked some down in Willingham Woods, I can confirm how ‘zingy’ wood sorrel leaves really are. They have a sharp and sour taste like apple peel and lemon. Which, of course, accounts for the flower’s country name of wood sour. 

I recently went on a circular walk which took in Claythorpe, Tothill and Authorpe and I was reminded when I went through the final village of my favourite word, Aubade. Wow. Not only is this word a stunner to look at, but it is also a beautiful sounding word, ‘Owe-bad’. Yes, of course, its Frenchness adds to the romanticism but also its meaning as well. It is variously a morning love song, a poem about lovers separating at dawn or an instrumental composition evoking daybreak. In fact, the tradition of aubades goes back to the troubadors of the Provencal schools of courtly love in the Middle Ages. 

My second favourite word comes near the end of the day, not at dawn but at dusk, gloaming. How about that for suggesting comfort? Aurally, it is like being cocooned in a duvet. Visually, it is a very relaxed word and reminds me of a divan. As to its meaning, it is an evening twilight and makes me think of a pink after-glow in a slowly darkening sky, one anticipating mystery and adventure.  Indeed, just like ‘aubade’, it is a word associated with courtship, none more so than when it appears in the song by Harry Lauder, ‘Roaming in the Gloaming’.

Some people do not have a favourite word which I think is a pity. Perhaps it is an oversight. I am sure that, gently encouraged, most people could come up with a word which they favour. Just in case you find yourself in this category and need some inspiration, here are some favourite words I have gleaned from friends over the past week: gazebo, clarion, myrrh, wedge, chortle, stultiloquent, aurora, whinberry, dimple, quartz and marsupial. There. Now it’s your turn.

But before we go, a final word about Claxby Pluckacre. These days you won’t find a finger-post bearing its name on the main road between Scrivelsby and Revesby. Why? Because someone keeps pinching it and the County Council have decided not to replace it. If you want to see the name, you have to go down a gated track to an obscure lane where another finger-post has managed to remain in place. But, perhaps, I shouldn’t have told you that.

Next time: Walking with the poets

6, 11

6: Idea that you always wanted to write but could never make work?

Sooooooo many -- mostly if I’ve got an idea that I like but haven’t brought to a conclusion yet, it goes into the big stack of WIPs, but there’s a few stories I haven’t even begun because I can’t make headway. (Chiefly, a Rise of the Guardians Sunset Boulevard AU, but... a) who would read that b) my Rise of the Guardians fandom days are loooong behind me, so it’s rather mystifying.)

For stuff I really like the idea of but have never written as much of as I’d like, I’ve got an unfinished fic for The Martian where Mark Watney comes back from Mars chock full of space ghosts. There’s body horror and emotions and potatoes.

11: If I'm showing off just one of your pieces to someone, which one should it be?

Ahahaha oh boy, this is a tough question because just who is “someone” under these circumstances? I used to have a friend who linked people my fic in a certain fandom regularly (as a example of “look, [kink] CAN be literary and serious!”) but that went pretty bad pretty fast given that bullshit, was that fic literary or serious. For somebody who doesn’t like darkfic, I’d probably say show them my fic for The Nice Guys, or “don’t let the stars get in your eyes” (Hail Caesar!, Hobie Doyle/Carlotta Valdez futurefic)  but if you want to go for the representatively nasty you have to give them “Aubade” (2001 A Space Odyssey, HAL/Dave) or the No Shortage Of Blood series (Whiplash, Fletcher/Neiman Gone Girl AU)
