		<description><![CDATA[
On a whim this evening, partly inspired by Baino, I looked up one of my childhood homes on Google maps, using the satellite view.
I was born in London, but when I was ten years old my father got a new job, in Tiptree, and I got my first experience of moving house. It was a [...]]]></description>

I mean, it&#8217;s good to try to keep members of the public safe, but this is a private reservoir on private land, with a rather patriotic locked gate, and a fence around it and everything.  In fact, you wouldn&#8217;t know there was water there [...]]]></description>

Mr Wasp was sitting on the kitchen counter, right by the kettle, looking rather forlorn, and with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was abruptly taken back to my childhood while reading Not Afraid To Use It this morning, because a question which blighted her childhood also echoed through mine.

Me: How about potato cakes?
Me: Good idea!
