First of the year

Blight has arrived at our wee corner of post-Brexial paradise. Seems to get earlier with the passing years. This is the first digging from the Charlottes. They were very tasty without a whiff of faragacity about them. 

More shenanigans today on all political fronts. The picture seems bleaker. I storified (to my great surprise) a series of tweets from the guy at The Economist intelligence unit. Makes depressing reading on our joint future. Here if you want it.

Thank you for comments yesterday. Much appreciated if I've not got back to you.
