Returning home after a few days away, I am struck by the ancient appearance of Ken, our decrepit white cat: poor old Ken.

On a more positive note, our new chickens laid their first egg. We’re not sure which chicken it was as they both seem equally pleased with themself.

Our garden is looking at its very best and Jackie and I spent a wonderful day marvelling and relaxing.

In the evening I enjoyed Phil Beadle’s C4 documentary about adult literacy. He has the right amount of passion and indignation – but a little too much of the show seems to be about his angst rather than the journeys of his students.
