I WRITE to you this week about Hugh Burbidge and the Red Arrows. Why? Well, because both of them have caused me delays.

It’s been a while since the end of the season and I have tried to give myself some rugby free weeks so as to appreciate the resumption of the Rugby season all the more.

I have always believed that Gordon Brown will stay until his day of reckoning with the electorate. I do not think it likely that 70 Labour MPs will sign his death warrant in time for the Labour Conference (if Parliament was sitting it might be different; for an open rebellion of this size you need everyone in the same room at the same time).

I MOVED from Cambridgeshire to Worcester a few months ago. When I told people where I was going one of the most frequent responses was, ‘Oh, Lucky you: Three Choirs country.’ The Three Choirs Festival is one of the things that puts this city on the map and last week I was able to relish it myself for the first time.

IT's funny how when you get older your outlook on life changes, and the things you like and dislike change as the years go by, not that I, of course, am that old.

ON August 27 we will know which post offices in our area have been earmarked for closure. As we get close to that dreaded date, it is important to do two things – to understand what we can do about the closures and to dispel some of the myths about why they are happening.

THIS July marks 10 years since Labour voted to bring in the national minimum wage. I well remember the House of Commons sitting throughout the night in a battle to pass this legislation

ON July 24 I was one of more than 600 bishops from more than 130 countries who, together with their spouses and leaders of other Christian denominations and faiths, marched down Whitehall.

Two attractions in Wyre Forest deserve wider recognition and a visit this summer. First we have the rejuvenated Stourport Dock Basins where the Midlands canals join the river Severn.

It seems silly to talk about Christmas, although the weather might suggest we are in late autumn rather than early summer. But why not?

The future of Hartlebury Castle has led the county council to come in for some severe criticism recently – criticism that is both unfair and misplaced. I am appalled by some of the things that are being said by people who should know better.

I’VE been feeling a bit depressed this week. It was raining when the alarm went off at a quarter past a stupid time on Thursday morning and the thought struck me that the nights are getting darker earlier already.
