Design, gardening and refusing.

1. Chris the designer has gone to town on our lead feature for the October issue. It looks great, and there's a bit of a buzz in the production room. We're worried about what the publisher is going to say... and then the email comes back: he likes it.

2. Everyone is in the front garden when I come home. Alec is lolled in his pushchair, very asleep; the mother is filling a black plastic sack with weeds.

3. He's been turning his head and making a tight line with his lips every time I offer the spoon. I put his meat and potatoes to one side and start eating some fruit and yoghurt... and suddenly he's interested.

PS: This is what all the fuss has been about -- I'm working as acting editor of a new magazine.

That magazine looks interesting. I found a kitchen I like in there!

Too funny about your little one with his 'tight-lined lips'. We don't have to be very old to learn that sweet tastes better than meat... or carrots... or whatever else.

Sweet potatoes: yes!
Beets: noooo!
One cannot blame the little guy for liking the good stuff!
I looked at the magazine site...I wish I could visit there.

Great, Brenda. Let me know if I can help you with any contact details.

Susan -- Canterbury is on the tourist trail, so perhaps one day...

What a pity Amy's left Canterbury now, she'd be most interested in it. Hope it goes well.
