Justice is truth in action.

Observer Salvation?
Eating red meat and drinking alcohol in even small quantities increases the risk of developing cancer, a group of world renowned scientists will warn this week. People should minimise their consumption of both in order to safeguard their health, the biggest inquiry ever undertaken into lifestyle and cancer will recommend.
Says today’s Observer, which is curious given its recent past shameless promotion of it here, here and here. But the Grumpy Vegan is beside himself. Giving up meat and dairy was nothing.
But minimising consumption of alcohol? That’s going too far!

Hastings on Saturday Afternoon
First, the town is hosting the World Crazy Golf Championships (Americans read: Put Put) at its seafront course. We stop to watch the players putting their balls along the concrete paths expertly navigating past the sweep of the windmill blades and through the turning wheel toward their destiny of a hole in the ground. Photographers and film crews capture the moment. Onlookers murmur appreciation.
Then, as we make our back up from the seafront, having devoured an open bag of chips (Americans read: French fries) we stop at the Flower Makers Museum just a short walk along the High Street where we live. This family business has a worldwide reach as it manufactures flower and plant props for such films as “Gladiator.” The Shirley Leaf and Petal Company which owns the museum uses the same equipment and materials when it was originally established nearly 100 years ago.
