Q. have just returned from a trip to Budapest. I booked in January but my computer crashed and, not knowing if I'd bought the flights, I booked again.

The Hacker: Be sure to smell the flowers and keep abreast of the nesting birds
It was Brian who first asked it, the question that swept across the fairways at Bury St Edmunds. We were out enjoying the sunshine and variously admiring the hedge bedstraw growing in the long grass and the foxgloves beginning to shoot in the woods, when he bounded over from the green where he and his mates were putting in order to accost us.
