Harry

Currently Harry spends his nights in the shed and the days in the airing cupboard. Come Spring and Summer we often don't see him for 48hrs as he away in the policies rabbiting. However this time of year I pop a morsel of lightly buttered kipper in his mouth at breakfast as he reads the Financial Times I have ironed for him. Amongst Harry's pet hates are i) pets and ii) anthropomorphism.

The Current Mrs Creel is away to piano lesson, badminton then working in the Orkney Cats shop. Then dancing. I am making my first ever batch of marmalade.

What happened to all the pipe-smokers? And their pipes.

Is there to be a memorial service for the Record Shak? Careful with that eulogy Eugene.
