Field of View: The things we miss most are those we barely notice (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some things you take for granted and don’t appreciate them till they’ve gone. I’ve written enough about my recent experiences in that regard, but I will take the opportunity to say that in my experience, for all its faults, when you actually get to use the NHS it is fabulous. Sure you have to wait; for a GP appointment, for elective surgery, to see a consultant. And the wait can be unacceptable and distressing. But when you actually get to see someone and receive treatment, the care you get is o
Air traffic failures and weak leadership fuel warning over accountability in Britain (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In August 2023, a glitch in processing flight plans at the UK’s Air Traffic control centre interrupted the journeys of 700,000 passengers. Airlines estimated that they lost £100,000 in revenue. On the 8th of last month, a similar thing happened, this time due to a software defect. 2,000 flights were cancelled and there was a two day backlog of flights. Again, hundreds of thousands of passengers’ travel plans were disrupted. On Monday a “connectivity failure” caused 200 flights to be cancelled an
V&A visit prompts reflection on the lost value of traditional craftsmanship (opens the original)

I love museums so whilst in London at the weekend, I called into the Victoria and Albert Museum, a treasure trove of cultural artefacts that stemmed from Queen Victoria’s 1851 Great Exhibition. Its confusing layout meant that I found myself wandering through a furniture gallery, not one I would have chosen to visit. But that’s what’s so wonderful about museums, particularly our ones here in Salisbury; you’re confronted by the unexpected. The gallery was laid out to show how the techniques of fur
'Helping a friend move prompts reflection on possessions and past memories' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last weekend a friend asked me if I would help them pack for their imminent move. ‘Shouldn’t be too much trouble,’ they said. ‘I’ve sorted most of the stuff out, and the removers are booked to do all the packing. Be good to have someone else here just in case…’ Since it wasn’t me moving, none of the emotional stress that invariably accompanies and complicates such occasions. 'I won't throw old things away — so where do I get rid of this stuff?' Alcohol free drinks inspired by Alan Sugar's The Ap
Why people don't dress up anymore and it's not because of Covid (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We snuck into the bar for a lunchtime pint and bite to eat. ‘You’ll need to order quickly. We’ve a function on.’ We sat back, supping, sipping and people watching. A motley crew were assembling, shabbily if not scruffily attired. Shirts undone, tatty trainers, shorts, shapeless dresses, scrappy jeans. What kind of function was this, we wondered as one person arrived sporting a shirt advertising a well-known high street opticians. Guests arrived carrying white envelopes and bright, gift-wrapped p
