Not cheering for Ferrari now. Just sad :(

Kira Cochrane asks "why can't we give up the tan?" (Going for the burn, G2, 7 July). The answer is simple: we are not convinced that the alleged harm outweighs the obvious benefits, and we dislike the bullying, fear-mongering campaign against sun exposure.

Although the Lord Mayor's annual dinner for the judiciary looks like a
scene from a Savoy opera, nobody should be distracted by the

Many had taken the opportunity to stock up on supplies in preparation for their return to a space where items such as coriander and A4 paper are blockaded by the Israelis.

The reason was revealed in Court documents:

Angarrack Sixth Anniversary already

Decided to celebrate the sixth anniversary of moving to Angarrack with a meal in the Angarrack Inn - now run by Alan and Sam.

We had a lovely meal on a beautiful sunny evening, listening to the birds singing.  Delicious Cauliflower soup, Calamari, Steak and Ale Pie with wholegrain mustard mash and Whole Megrim Sole.

Fabulous day ;)
