		<title>This is how it should be&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Children are delightful. I can't help but smile when, on the way to work, I see kids playing in the playground. Sadly we've developed a paranoia about children. Victorian values taught that they should be seen and not heard, but now it seems they should not been heard or seen. An indicative trend at the [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to Find a Missing Cat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It's every cat owner's nightmare: you get a lie-in because the moggy isn't pawing at your face at 5am to be fed. In fact, you don't see the cat for the whole day. Then two, then four. You start to fret. You worry that the worst has happened. Perhaps his death was mercifully quick? You decide [...]]]></description>

		<title>Some people are idiots&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was wondering when I'd feel inspired to blog something. So here goes. Rebecca and I were out looking for our lost foster cat, Piper. We'd leafleted our neighbourhood and had a call from a neighbour who had spotted him in the fields nearby. Sadly we didn't find him, although a very cute tortoiseshell followed [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Father, My Teacher, My Friend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My Dad died peacefully at home recently after a long and heroic battle with cancer. His funeral was last Thursday (17th June). My mum and I were in awe at the turnout and the kindness shown to us by so many people from all over the world. I've decided to post some photos of Dad here, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Broccoli and Stilton Soup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This warming soup is a big favourite in the house and with friends. I took about 4 litres of it to a dinner party for 6 as a starter and the guests got to third helpings by the time the soup was all gone. Like most soups, it's incredibly simple to make. This recipe serves [...]]]></description>

		<title>9 of 9</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was rushing through Hampton to visit my parents yesterday and saw this reminder to make haste slowly: I think the poor cat (it looked like a Burmese) had just used up the last of its nine lives. The driver did her best. It must have been a real shock. She picked up the cat [...]]]></description>

		<title>Unelected Prime Ministers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Right now, the mainstream press supports the Conservatives, with the exception of the Guardian, Independent and Mirror. Alongside talk radio and TV, there's much talk of the scandal of having an unelected Prime Minister in power. Even since Gordon Brown moved into Number 10 in 2007, this has been a common refrain. It's an even [...]]]></description>

		<title>Let&#8217;s get a few things straight&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[29.6 million people voted in the General Election. That's approximately 65% of the electorate. Of those 29.6 million, 10.5 million voted for the Conservatives. That's 35% of those who voted. Under our First Past the Post system, which disproportionately awards seats for share of the vote, the Conservatives still do not have a majority of [...]]]></description>

		<title>REAL Hope at Last!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If our newspapers were more indpendent and less in the pockets of the ruling interests, then this would be on the front pages today. Early results indicate a hung parliament is in the offing and it's going to be an interesting few days. This is probably the best result for you and me, regardless of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vote for Change</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cameron isn't the real change candidate, but you can still make a difference today. Sure, he's talking a lot about change. Both the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats are banging the "Change" drum after 13 years of a Labour government that has made some terrible decisions (The wars, PFI, ID cards) and some very progressive ones (Minimum [...]]]></description>
