"Our England is a garden, and such gardens are not made by singing, 'Oh, how beautiful', and sitting in the shade." Kipling was right, of course. Yet that's just what I'm doing as I write, in the scrawny patch of uneven grass and ill-dug flowerbeds ...
For me, living in the countryside of southern England, the start of May is something special. I don't dance round maypoles or traipse behind trade-union banners. This is the start of the season for village cricket.
At my age, I don't play the game ...
Last Sunday wasn't the most eventful one in world history. But it wasn't short of news either. In the United States, the Democratic infighting takes a dramatic new twist with Senator Obama's guns-and-religion gaffe. In Britain, there was open talk of ...

Alas, that probably isn't true. The cigars, maybe, but among those Cubans who didn't choose or couldn't manage to flee the country--a large majority, whatever the streets of Miami may suggest to the opposite--most retained a solid affection for their ...
Two things in this world, we are told, are certain: death and taxes. If it was ever true, this truism, like many, is untrue today. Death is ultimately a fact of life, granted; but there's a huge industry whose sole, and often successful, purpose ...
One of my sons recently "renounced foreign princes" and took up American citizenship. I regret it.
