First day of a new blog

Thursday the 16th of July. North Kent rolling away from the foot of my back garden. Traffic labouring up the A2 in the distance towards Bluewater and, who knows, thence to the coast and France? Heat building and thunder on its way. School holidays just kicking off.

I’ll write the ‘About’ page, and that will be enough for now. After all – I might want to move all this ‘furniture’ around quite a lot.

Today’s most important news story for me? The BBC’s Mark Easton on how the media treat our crime figures.
