To Make The Most Of Christmas, Focus

What A Grand, Higgledy-piggledy, Sensible Old Place Norwich Is!

But Some Of Us Are Beginning To Pull Well Away, In Our Irritation, From...the Exquisite Tasters, The Vintage Snobs, The Three-star Michelin Gourmets. There Is, We Feel, A Decent Area Somewhere Between Boiled Carrots And Beluga Caviare, Sour Plonk And Chateau Lafitte, Where We Can Take Care Of Our Gullets And Bellies Without Worshipping Them.

Public Opinion Polls Are Rather Like Children In A Garden, Digging Things Up All The Time To See How They're Growing.

If We Openly Declare What Is Wrong With Us, What Is Our Deepest Need, Then Perhaps The Death And Despair Will By Degrees Disappear.

Write As Often As Possible, Not With The Idea At Once Of Getting Into Print, But As If You Were Learning An Instrument.
