• Wholesale war games footage

  I GOT up at six today and watched the news on TV. I heard that the ambassador to the UN has made a statement that the aggression by the US and UN against Iraq contravenes international law and that they should withdraw immediately. A bold statement. I fantasised the US and UK sidelined by the UN who sends an international peace-keeping force to Iraq. read more

• A happy period in my youth

  I SEEM to have had a thing about that delightful song Sand in my Shoes, by Frank Loesser and Victor Schertzinger, which Connie Boswell sang in the film Kiss the Boys Goodbye, probably about 1941. At this time I was serving in a Lancashire Anti-Aircraft Brigade, with HQ at Burnley, and nights when not on duty, were often spent at The Empress Ballroom, dancing the night away. read more

• A superstitious lot

  FOR the last three years, John has run a Texel tup with the flock, and several Suffolk tups as well. The Texel did not have a good track record. A stunning-looking tup, his tackle left a lot to be desired. Or perhaps desire never came into it, at least not when you came to add up the sum total of Texel lambs at the end of each lambing season. I think his maximum total in a year was seven, when the Suffolks were throwing them out by the hundred. Come the year of the foot and mouth and we could not move him off the farm anyway. Last year, John kept him for sentiment, but this spring, just before lambing, the Texel tup went off to that great field in the sky, ie market. read more
