		<description><![CDATA[Christmas came early to the Normal/Fixit axis, when we started collecting jolly scraps of paper from old copies of &#8216;Recycling Weekly&#8217; to make into origami wreaths and tree decorations, and unravelling unwanted jumpers (of which we seem to have a mysteriously large supply) to re-knit into apple cosies and tiny socks to keep the cat&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

When I brought him&#160;&#160;, two very sad Golden Delicious [...]]]></description>

We have not been Glamping or&#160;&#160;We have not lolled in hammocks in a Cornish buttercup meadow, rented a&#160;&#160;in Derbyshire, wandered the byways of Suffolk in a&#160;&#160;or leapt aboard the Fort William sleeper to gaze at misty [...]]]></description>
