Column 2001

December 2001
So here it is - Merry Christmas! I hope you have all hung up your mistletoe because one of the best things about Xmas is all those kisses given and got. This is the perfect time to try out a new pair of lips. I'm not suggesting you take it any further, just that we relax a little and have fun.

November 2001
I voted for Home Rule for Scotland for one simple reason - to keep the rest of Britain on European time. Has it worked? No! Once more we are plunged into afternoon darkness, depression is on its way, and all so that a few souls in the far north of the island can wake up in daylight.

October 2001
This column is written with the same sadness that all of us feel today. Our world is balanced on its rim, and none of us know what is going to happen, or what the consequences will be for ourselves, our children, or the people we love.

March 2001
Here's how our household works. At the Stables, where we live, there's Peggy and there's me, and there's the assorted animals and all the people who come and go - the groom, gardeners, handymen, Jayne the Office Tyrant, Linda the Household Scourge.

February 2001
Like most people I have a cold. Why is February the month when we all get colds? Mine is an authentic life-in-the-aquarium number, and when I'm not under water, I'm under a towel with some of those cute little essential oils.

January 2001
It's the beginning of January 2001. Happy New Year to everyone out there. Thank you all of you who worked so hard to help me get the Melissa Etheridge Poster. We clocked about 20 in the end, so it's taking me a little time to send out the promised books.
