Earlier this week I was a witness at a public inquiry regarding a footpath, in the village where I grew up. Basically – to cut a very long story short – up to 1991 a lane was used by the public for walking, cycling, horse riding...

Earlier today I was reading a news story which claimed that a significant number of students had undertaken sex work to pay their bills. What I found more surprising, though, was what was included in the definition of ‘sex work’...

Fleur I know exactly what you are saying, but even though, as you say, people (young and otherwise) have these sort of arrangements all the time all over the world, I wouldn't be comfortable doing that, I pay my own bills. But as for 'sex workers', I do find it odd...

Fleur @owlwings The Ramblers have been involved and very helpful. I don't think there's any more we can do at this point. We'll just have to see what happens now. I might join the Ramblers though. There are a lot more paths and lanes in this area!

Today Scots (and many who aren't Scots) around the world celebrate the birth of Robert Burns in 1759. He was just a poor farmer's son who had little formal education. He spent his early life as a plough boy and farm hand on his...

Fleur My friend always used to host a Burns supper for a group of friends (now she is married and lives further away, so it seems to have stopped). One of us would have to address the haggis which was always hilarious as we were nowhere near as good as this...

Fleur @owlwings I don't know why it all took so long. In 1991 I was away so didn't know about it until later. The case was only taken on by the community council some time afterwards. The lane continues past the converted barn, between fields and then meets another...

Fleur Anyway the presiding solicitor listened to the man's statement and then politely pointed out that issues of privacy and traffic safety were not pertinent to the inquiry.

Fleur Sorry I obviously didn't make the situation quite clear. 1) As you say there is a road in front of the bungalow so anything further away than this shouldn't have much impact. 2) The witness in this bungalow is a friend of the family in the converted barn who...
