Very helpful reflections and especially on the principles and details needed to be established for a jury to find a guilty verdict. Not just the devil in the details.

Some wintry sea.

Magnificent to be able to step out into the sunshine and fresh air after a couple of weeks mostly inside resting. Eyes full of blue sky, sunshine, crashing sea and windswept trees.

There could be pelicans in Somerset! That would be amazing. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
