Summer is a'cumming in...

Its official Ascot's gone to York.  How?  Wimbledon hyperbole is pouring out of the telly.  England have won a cricket match, and the weather forecasters are promising high temperatures with dry conditions - but not yet.

The cloud is as thick as ever over east Norfolk, rain is promised tomorrow, the end of the season sales are on at the Co-op, and every entrance to the town has major roadworks all scheduled to finish at the start of the new school year in September.

However all the late spring flowers are magnificent,  and you can be nearer to God's heart in the garden than anywhere else in earth.

One last thought,  now Mary Warnock has realised the errors of her theories over children with special needs,  and the persecution of Michael Jackson has ended,  both with assistance from those possessed of ordinary common-sense,  may be, those who have made their only living from slavishly following transistory fashionable theories about what constitutes the proper treatment of children and their needs,  and insisting that everyone else follows suit, will realise that they don't actually have a right to practise social engineering on the rest of us!
