I'm dragging out the last of the British summer like wringing out a wet tea towel. I spent last week camping in Cornwall where I simultaneously put on sunglasses and a fleece jacket, bbq-ed in the blustering wind, relished in the tropical heat of the rainforest dome at the Eden Project.
Back at my desk today, sniffling with a sinus cold, I have a lingering memory of patting a penguin called Houdini. I hope that memory will last me till the next holiday.
We at EYC always return from our respective holidays refreshed and vowing "let's do it better" and "let's do more of the forgotten stuff" and "let's do more but with less stress". It'll last a week but we are happy in that week!
With a refreshing look at EYC I am wondering what you like about our website. Did you read our peripheral columns like the now dusty Calendar, Book of the Month, Wine of the Month and Movie of the Month? Should we continue these threads or change the tune?
If you have 2 mins to give us your thoughts then we would appreciate a quick look at our EATYOURCAD SURVEY Tell us what you read, what to revive and what to add. We'd appreciate it!
