How do you feel?
I have an appointment tomorrow with my neurologist. The results from all the tests and scans will have been analysed and some conclusions will be drawn. I thought it would be a good idea today to make a list showing…

President Obama’s Inauguration brought a tear to my eye.
I have had fun in America. I have partied in San Francisco. I have roller-bladed through Central Park, New York. I have sat drinking bourbon in Montana watching the light fade over the Rocky Mountains. I have wondered at Chicago’s…
Lets hope President Obama can really make a difference
I live in a small Sussex town where most people are neither too poor or too rich. We can expect to live peaceful lives here, without interference, no matter what our opinions or beliefs may be. We have pretty buildings…
How shopping can save the World
I had a moment of pleasure mixed with guilt today as I put on a pair of shoes. I had bought these shoes in the week after leaving hospital in November, where I had spent nearly three weeks in pyjamas…

It is probably a deep-seated weakness I admit, but there is something about President George W. Bush that is really quite likeable. Maybe it was watching him present Britain’s very own Tony Blair with American’s highest civilian honour, the Presidential…
The Queen, Prince Harry and his “little Paki friend”
I once made a flippant remark about the Queen whilst having dinner with the Oscar-winning Hungarian film director, Istvan Szabo in Budapest. Too much name-dropping, ok, I admit it. By “the Queen”, I mean of course Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth…
