Coffee cake, tea, and conversation

Sitting in a rocking chair, next to a real fire, a cup of tea and a piece of coffee cake at hand. What could be more perfect than sitting in this house in the middle of French countryside. I sat and thought, I don't kow I've been born.
And what of the conversation? That was all about 'The Doctor, The Plutocrat, and The Mendacious Minister. I sat talking with Jocelyn Syms, who had written in a criticism for me 'Rising unemployment, food rationing and drug shortages impact on the lives of the inhabitants of a small town on the outskirts of Leicester in 1947. These deprivations contrast with the lifestyle of powerful people who have found ways to maintain a life of luxury even in such harsh times.'
We spent a couple of hours expounding further on her comments. So tremendously useful, thank you Jocelyn.

Thanks have to go as well to Louise Wise who interviewed me on her blog at http://louisewise.blogspot.com/2011/01/doctor-plutocrat-and-mendacious-tells.html
