I know what you mean For all that we Brits constantly moan about the weather and the NHS there is no place like England.

TV is far too addictive - I hardly switch it on these days or switch on for one or two specific programmes, and make sure I have something URGENT to get done immediately after.

Will Young is a pop idol created by the power of media. There is a lot of controversy and debate about how fair the contest was - apparently he had 4000 (if my recollection is correct) extra lines for people to call and vote for him. He has created a sort of "Beatle Mania" for the time being. Only time will tell how long it will last.

The daffodils are peeping out now and I run to my window to check on their cheerful progress every morning and to breathe in the fresh spring air.

Come for a visit - some great travel deals on at the moment.

Take care.
