1. Forget TV and listen to the birds
Macclesfield Express, Wednesday 11 July 2007THE DAY starts early on our farm: poultry to feed, animals to turn out, barns to clean, dogs to train all before breakfast. By evening we're usually ready to relax.
2. Please don't axe our rate catchers
Macclesfield Express, Wednesday 25 July 2007A RUMOUR reached my ears that our council is planning to rid itself of the pest control department, which seems a rather odd decision given the controversial move to fortnightly collection of refuse.

Macclesfield Express, Wednesday 4 July 2007I'M DELIGHTED to hear that five local people are to be honoured in the Queen's Birthday Awards. My suit has been cleaned in anticipation (I've only got one).
8. Is the Rooney effect ruining Prestbury? Well, yes ...
Macclesfield Express, Wednesday 4 July 2007THE HEADLINE emblazoned across page 18 of a recent edition of the Express read: 'Is the 'Rooney' effect ruining Prestbury?'
9. Don't be so stupid! Sir Nick has NOT bought me a pint of beer!
Macclesfield Express, Wednesday 4 July 2007DESPITE recent speculation there is absolutely no truth in the rumour that Macclesfield MP Sir Nicholas Winterton voted to exempt himself from the Freedom of Information Act to disguise the fact that he has recently bought me a drink.
