In Defence of Potato Waffles
For lunch today I ate two potato waffles, broken apart with my fingers (my front teeth are sensitive to heat, the occasion did not warrant cutlery), and dipped into a squirt of Heinz barbecue sauce.

Oh Jilly.....
I can confirm that at the age of sixty, Rupert Campbell- Black is still the handsomest man in England. And in Wales. And everywhere. Even if he is a bit of a prat.Nobody reads Jilly for its great literary credentials, but be assured, R C-B is now a Shakespeare lover. No more will Helen call him and Billy (oh sorry Jilly killed him) a philistine.

Tonight across the country hunting mothers will hold their children a little closer. In every pack someone will remember another rider lost to the chase. Those who are still hunting will take an extra swig of port before a big jump and reassure themselves today is not my day.
