Remember this?

I used to love twisting the swing round and round as a child and then letting it spin back the other way.
Tess has discovered this for herself now.

I was very pleased to find my back pain has eased enough for crouching in hedges again (to take photos, not to pee)

Giving the new series of Homeland a go on TV. It made more sense to watch something we might both like than watch Dragon's Den - which I loathe - or any of the other crap I can't abide.

It's amazing how angry TV can make me. Most of it seems pretty awful to me, and I'm not sure it deserves the reverence families give it of an evening. Loved ones deserve far more attention
