In fact, it might well be a real pity he has the new job because it will very much get in the way of his continuing to be a real force for good in a lot of areas.
Like that brilliant Village he was the force behind at Poundbury. We so need more of those...
I think Lizzie though was one of a kind - the woman couldn't be faulted for her strong sense of duty & I'm not sure they make them like that any more.
Yep, definitely agree re Poundbury; there are so many really ugly buildings around now - & every last one seems to be painted grey or beige!
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
