Charles Arthur presents this modern dilemma:
You’re looking for a new place to live, and you’ve found a marvellous place – beautiful location, surprisingly good transport when you consider the lovely views, and it’s got electricity, gas and water. Compared to other places you’ve looked at with similar qualities, it’s pretty cheap.
In fact, it’s really desirable, and you’ve got very little time before you have to move out of where you are.
But wait a minute – what about the internet?
Commenters favor looking elsewhere. Broadband is a utility like gas and water.
The potatoes came and went, the slugs got the lettuce, the cabbages bolted direct from seed into leathery senescence (and thence the compost heap) but the courgettes just kept on giving.
Thanks to the courgette plants, now large enough to be introduced socially, I was able to feel a moderate success as a gardener.
