Goodnight.
I leave you with a glimpse of a holly blue

Dear Michael Gove, swift bricks are a lovely win-win-win, a relatively easy tweak to regs, great politics for the Conservatives and a lovely little legacy for you. (If it happens, I'll think of you fondly every time a swift screams overhead, promise 😃)

Good to see this correction. There’s an important discussion to be had around this complex issue, but it had best be done on the basis of fact…

Lots going on in the St Barnabas Southfields. Southfields Garden.
Tom has repainted the boiler house door.
A Speckled Wood was visiting the daisies.
Our Quixotic Ash nursery leafed.
There were bees in the apple blossom.
The holly blues were too elusive.
Flies abounding.

In just over 3,000,000 seconds* the paperback of Taking Flight will be published.

There will also be an audiobook edition, which I am recording as we speak**.

I would love this information to be widely shared.

'Laissez-faire was just as bad as collectivism...[Good] Christian men...closed their eyes to factories working appalling hours...Government could not interfere; it was against the doctrine of Laissez-faire. Once you get a doctrine, that is the end of you' (Harold Macmillan, 1984)

“The conditions in prisons are a national scandal. Prisons aren’t rehabilitating... Wandsworth is the worst London prison, but Pentonville ain’t much better. Wormwood Scrubs ain’t much better. Brixton ain’t much better.”

Andrew Neilson from The Howard League
