GEORGE THE GRASSHOPPER

It might have returned hoping there's more chance of finding intelligent leadership than last year. Fat chance!

The family had a missing child scare this afternoon. Found safe and well thank goodness, and I know no more details yet except that he's a resourceful and adventurous 7-year-old. I'm only just beginning to recover my appetite since hearing that he's OK, so I'll go and fix myself a snack and catch up with things later.
