That’s it, then, in a week in which the rain continued to saturate our chalky soil and heavy winds blew anything unattached into the back of beyond. Spring? It still looks a long way off. Also a week in which a group headed by James Cameron, of Titanic fame, claimed to have made the most important archeological discovery in history, that of Jesus and Mary Magdalene’s bones, a claim quickly ridiculed by a number of religious bodies (pun unintended). And a week in which a German brother and sister, mother and father of four children, fought the German incest laws in court to try to avoid his imprisonment and allow their relationship to continue.
