GOODBYE SUN<br />
Something you can never predict - the weather. This summer’s<br />
been extraordinary, sun, sun, sun and even more sun. What a godsend<br />
for visitors to our fair county and equally for our precious local economy,<br />
it can only mean more business next year for our tourist industry.<br />
‘Digital’ these days is something of a chilling word. Believe<br />
me you’re being permanently watched. If you’re a smartphone lover,<br />
everywhere you go, everything you’re interested in, anything you feel<br />
you want to buy, all your email contacts, the internet knows. George<br />
Orwell, visionary that he was, failed to predict the means by which we’d<br />
be observed, although I’m certain that if he’d had the internet in his day,<br />
Nineteen Eighty-Four would have been a much, much larger book! The<br />
news hot off the press is that the Inland Revenue is going fully digital in<br />
the very near future - surely that has you worried?<br />
One of my favourite pastimes at this part of the year is spotting<br />
the emergence of first Christmas advert. Nowhere near as welcome<br />
an occasion as that of the first swallow in spring, but all the same, a<br />
comforting experience, a reminder that colder weather is returning.<br />

PS - please don’t miss our competition for a lobster meal with champagne<br />
for two at the Cottage Hotel’s brilliant Lobster Pod Bistro (see p50).<br />
