    Echo everything free2grice says, couldn't have said it better. Add my thanks to all concerned for an excellent weekend in good weather throughout. My wife settled down in coach Mary (the first class one!) for a good portion of each day whilst be...

    It gets late earlier after the clocks go back, the return to Derby approaching Wooton Wawen about 15 minutes after the sunset timed departure from Stratford. Unforunately the advancing cloud killed off what had been a nicely coloured sky. By the...

    I hope everyone remembered to change their clocks, for anyone needing a time check its currently 10.03 GMT (on Tuesday). All this clock business has upset Diego. His normal morning routine is, he appears (usually between 8 and 8.30), I let him...

    Oswald Jnr left home around 7.45 this morning but Diego was primed and ready and in he came. He had a drink but didn't want any food and settled down on my knee for a 30 minute nap. Over the next hour he came and went three times, the third...
