Max decided to go walkabouts again this morning and we're not sure how he got out of the garden. The chances are that he just jumped over the gate. He has begun to realise that anything around 1.5 metres is easy, so off he goes. I'm beginning to realise that it is going to be virtually impossible to keep him in with anything less than prison walls, so I'm starting to relax. Eventually he turned up at the gates, wagging his tail, and I let him back in. The stupid mutt hasn't figured out that he can retrace his steps.

I did a little harvesting this morning. The white grapes 'turned' whilst we were in Italy and so we now have a wonderful harvest of raisins! Determined not to let the black grapes do the same, I was out this morning picking them, as you can see above. They are a very sweet variety of black Muscat grapes. Additionally, I picked the first of our figs and offered it to Jan. Scrummy food!

If there's one person who really irritates me, who appears regularly on UK television, it is someone called Shami Chakrabarti. She represents an organisation called Liberty and she is always bleating on about 'freedom' and 'rights' of the individual and seems happy to get on the case when terrorist suspects are being held, or even supporting crackpot ideas such as this. This morning, millions of people had their lives turned upside down and their liberty massively curtailed because of potential terrorist activity. Why doesn't she appear on television now complaining about the people who have caused the restrictions to all our freedoms and 'human rights'? If you have done nothing wrong then you have nothing to fear (well most of the time)! However, if the police need more time to secure your conviction or, if you want to marry your horse, then you can rest assured that Shami will be on your case.
