The Lord Chief Justice’s ward‏

I spied this road closure notice fixed to a lamp-post when walking through Oxford recently with Bambi and the Hunter:

Excuse the poor photo: my BlackBerry’s camera really is dreadful. (Bad worker blaming tools? Guilty, perhaps!). So let me summarise. Georgian costumes… A young lady being raised by her uncle, the Lord Chief Justice… Nope, I won’t want to go and see that film at all.

OK, that last comment may not be entirely true – for if ever there was a guardian who was necessarily inclined to be strict, this must surely be the one! We can but hope, anyway.

(Actually, I suspect that – rather like The Paradise, currently on TV, the reality will rather disappoint. But one can daydream. It’s a shame I can’t make it to Oxford on the 21st to watch the filming and offer up a few plot suggestions to the director…)
