Introduction


Can each day be headlined by a word (or two) and represented by a single sentence?

Will they, in turn, weave together to form a tapestry of the year?

It may be more mundane than momentous, but it’s mine to share.

Not Run of the Mill

GCSE results day dawned with my wife and I still in the mobile phone dead-spot of Dovedale and the boy at the Leeds Festival eighty miles from school, so I land-lined the school for the grades and we headed for civilisation in the form of the old mill town of Belper, where we enjoyed a guided tour of the remnants of Jedidiah Strutt’s cotton mill; eventually we achieved contact with Leeds and passed on the good news of a fistful of A grades (and a C), definitely not just a run of the mill result, with the only downside being the high personal cost of the financial incentive scheme I signed up to.
