I have just watched the most wonderful documentary about the young choirmaster Gareth Malone. How refreshing in these Hello OK days of faux celebrities that someone like Gareth should be given a platform by the BBC.

What a talented fellow he is and what a shining example he sets for all of those knife-wielding hoodies on sink estates up and down the country. He’s a Bournemouth lad, which isn’t too far away and, apparently he holidays in Cornwall which means… he must pass close by Appleton Marsh from time to time. This is an open invitation for Gareth and his wife, to visit me, here in Appleton Marsh, and to partake in a pot of tea and a bite to eat – GM food I suppose. We will go to Tea Hee’s which is on the High Street and he can tell me all about his life as an animateur.
