- When I collected my kitchen stuff from storage in October I was somewhat struck by the paucity of my crockery, in that I had very little. Four plates and a bowl, in fact. Two of the plates I'd bought from a charity shop in Selly Oak in 1995, another I'd taken (along with numerous other bits and bobs) from a house when moving out in 1997 and he fourth I have no idea. The many years of moving house on average once a year had taken their toll. In so happened that my step mother used to run a B&B (in fact that's how my dad met her, but that's another story (and not a bad one as it happens, but I digress)) and recently decided to clear out a load of stuff from that era. |

- The last year was, it seems, pretty good for India. "The Golden Year," a major newsweekly proclaimed in a recent cover story. "The Feel-good Year," another magazine declared. Politicians and headline writers battle it out for the most frequent mentions of the greatness of 2003. |
