I watched Joe Biden’s inauguration yesterday, with a tear in my eye. After Trump’s reign of terror, which started badly and only got worse, it was a relief to have a functioning adult in the White House. Three cheers for the resumption of competent - and unexciting - government. If Biden can really “bring people back together again”, over the next four (eight?) years, it would be a major achievement, even if he does little else. In the meantime, Trump’s big orange face will continue to haunt my dreams.
Asselby is expanding… though not at its extremities, nor into the fields that surround the village. New houses are being built, instead, on patches of land which used to be gardens, paddocks or orchards. Old agricultural buildings are being converted or demolished, depending on condition. The ‘For Sale’ sign on the new house next door to the Old Sunday School has changed to ‘Sold’, so I’ll no doubt be getting new neighbours soon. Though the house was advertised as a ‘barn conversion’, it’s actually more of a ‘pig-sty conversion’…
