I think there's merit in the argument that 'good' telly is only really going to be delivered by payment of some sort outside the ad revenue stream.

Pet-owning note: Americans are really into indoor cats, and are likely to look askance at you if you have an indoor-outdoor cat. I have even heard people say that having a free-roaming cat is animal abuse, which I find quite strange.
Verily. Justine and I looked after my sister's cats for a couple of years back in Italy, in a very small apartment and with no option to let them out of the door ever. Frankly it was not only animal abuse but also abuse of us humans.

unless you want to be one of those journalists that hosts answers to readers' gardening questions.
I have one: I can never work out if it's more important to expose tomatoes to the sun, or shield them from the wind. I just can't seem to strike a successful balance.
