I might become this guru who people seek out for sage advice. Alternatively...

I might have mentioned before that I work a 'nine day fortnight' effectively allowing me a day off on alternate weeks. The premise is that I work the 75 hours I should work over ten days over nine instead – in reality I work a lot more than that but my conscience is clear when I do take the day off. Anyhow, today started rather rudely with John jumping out of bed with an expletive because he'd...

For a short day out we went to Hyde Hall , the Royal Horticultural Society's garden in Essex. It is only 11 miles away. Today was a nice day too, overcast and not too warm, but comfortable. We were taken to Hyde Hall years ago because we won the bid for the visit in a promises auction. It has changed a lot. There is even a new entrance which my Sat Nav does not know about. The long road leads into...
