I dreamed I was running across a vast estate which I knew belonged to me. It was a lot like a golf course, all rolling hills and sloping meadows, and even a winding road which I seemed determined not to follow.

As luck would have it, I started the New Year with a lovely case of bronchitis. So, instead of being out partying and ringing in 2013 as I might have liked, I was in bed doped up on antibiotics and cough medicine when the clock struck midnight.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Now you might think this…
