Blinkin' 'Ell is both a celebration of life and a cautionary tale.
It is a raw, boisterous, untutored, un-ghosted scrapbook of
memories from a man whose world seemed to have ended in August 2014
when a massive stroke left him permanently incapacitated with only
his left eyelid for communication. It tells of how, once he found
his niche as a champion farrier, Stevie Fisher burned the candle at
both ends, in the saddle, at the races, or at many another jape on
his countryman's horizon. The addictive wonder is not just that
Stevie has, blink by blink, letter by letter, brought us these
stories of his old great times and of his present grotesquely bad,
but that he has done so with all the over-the-top verve of the
cheering, galloping figure whose pictures on the wall contrast so
vividly with the shrivelled Stephen Hawking body on the bed. Stevie
Fisher took a lot out of life. Read Blinkin' 'Ell and be amazed and
uplifted by how much he still has.
