Send us your diary entry for Saturday 9 August! 9:55pm on 09 Aug 2008 We went to a sixth wedding anniversary party today.

Our friends live in Marks Tey and we were surprised that the cost of a cheap (!) day return had doubled since the last time we visited. National Express have taken over the route and I suppose they don't want competition for their coaches.

They were having a barbecue - so of course it was raining. But their house and garden were full of wonderful people and they were having a fabulous time.

Happy Wedding Anniversary.
Do you want to choose the hospital you're treated at? 8:31pm on 05 Jul 2008 In an ideal world local hospitals would have experts in every specialty. But in reality this cannot happen. For example, there are not enough brain tumours to allow every hospital to have expert neurosurgeons.

There are compromises that have to be made to allow the NHS to be 'free'. I think I prefer it to the US system (where I have also worked.) At least in the NHS our first question is usually: 'What is the problem?' In America it was: 'How are you going to pay for this?'
