		<title>Ogoh,Ogoh? Oh no, Oh no!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We had a yeah-yeah approach to Nyepi, the Balinese New Year&#8217;s Day of Silence, (Alex exempt on medical grounds), but as the locals gave more details we realised this was for real &#8211; no transport, airport closed, police patrols ensuring no traffic nor pedestrians on the street, no lights, no work, no barking dogs as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Low Tea</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A rare typhoon warning yesterday, but instead of having to weather it out lashed to our bed at Bonzu in a show of solidarity for Zissou, we&#8217;d fortunately checked into the Panchoran Retreat owned by Linda Garland, the pioneer of bamboo technology and research in Bali who&#8217;s spent thirty years creating a spectacular 20-hectare estate [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s a jungle out there.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Eager to prove our eco cred, we slept at Zissou’s last night, (now called ‘Bonzu’ &#8211;  half the village name Bongkasa and half Zissou). OK, hardly eager –we insisted he slept in the adjoining structure while we equipped ourselves with two brands of mosquito spray, a five-foot pole on Alex’s side for possible monkey invasion [...]]]></description>

		<title>House on the Hill</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All preconceptions went out the window yesterday when our son Zissou had a brunch to unveil the new home he&#8217;s had built in Bali. Well, no windows actually &#8211; and no walls come to that &#8211; just two all-bamboo structures with grass roofs built by forty-five craftsmen in ten weeks &#8211; planning permission waved through [...]]]></description>

		<title>Indian driving</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The number of Indian motorists injured each day is less remarkable than the extraordinary number who aren’t; surviving this mayhem last week whilst shooting in Mumbai and Goa confirmed my harboured suspicion that Indians aren’t taught to drive but are actually taught to avoid. After cursory avoidance lessons, they take the Avoidance Test to qualify [...]]]></description>

		<title>Christmas Prezzie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week I bought an iPhone cover from an assistant at White City’s Apple Store where we small talked briefly, wished each other well and I drove home. He emailed me next day after seeing my name on the receipt and looking at the photographs on my website, writing…….. ‘As the cultural and historical zeitgeist [...]]]></description>

		<title>Keep off the Crass</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With only twenty one days to go, Andrew Robathan MP is a shoo-in for the Crassest Comment of the Year title when comparing the Arctic Convoy veterans’ claim for an Arctic Star medal with authoritarian regimes such as North Korea, Libya and Iraq which “throw around” medals. “We have taken the view in this country, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quivering Lips</title>
		<description><![CDATA[They’ve just re-buried Frank Wild beside Ernest Shackleton in South Georgia, who was Shackleton&#8217;s right hand man through all the Antarctic heroics. When their boat was crushed by pack ice and Shackleton began his epic rescue mission, he left Wild behind with twenty one crewmen who survived on penguin, seal and seaweed for four months [...]]]></description>

		<title>Straightening Spaghetti</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Leveson Inquiry current witnesses remain grotesquely watchable, as if some dark force fries their moral compass as they take the stand. Yesterday, Paul McMullan, the former deputy features editor of the NoW described the hacking of Milly Dowler’s mobile as an “honourable” act, a “perfectably acceptable tool…&#8230;for the good of our readers, for the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Photographer Unknown</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Phaidon Press have followed up their best-selling brick ‘Century’, with a smaller brick called &#8216;Decade,&#8217; billed correctly as &#8217;500 painstakingly selected photographs, an extraordinary photographic history of the first decade of the twenty-first century.&#8217; Yes, but who painstakingly took these photographs? There&#8217;s no mention in the first eleven pages of &#8216;thematic essays&#8217; covering everything but [...]]]></description>
