Important stuff first: can the chap with the farm address in Shropshire who very kindly said he’d let me have his hunt coats and boots for a modest sum please get in touch again on Jamesdel@dircon.co.uk? My email has been playing up something rotten — apologies to all those of you who’ve not been getting replies — and my archive has been wiped. God, I hate technology.
Right, now to TV. My theme this week is how I hate not just technology but also pretty much every aspect of the modern world. All I want to do is retire to the country — Wiltshire is current favourite because I’ve lots of friends there and I quite fancy getting my boy into Bishop Wordsworth’s in Salisbury, provided Dave ‘Crossman’ Cameron hasn’t managed to abolish grammar schools by then — and spend my time hunting and writing novels set in the second world war.
