We set off on a sunny Tuesday morning at the propitious time of 12:12 to have a three-day celebration of Francoise's birthday. My car was newly serviced, pretty much full of petrol, so well-serviced that it hummed along. I have been aware for some time that Dorset people are different from Somerset people. I'm not saying better or worse but there is something like a time warp that I experience...
