		<description><![CDATA[The BBC&#8217;s One Show is my televisual guilty secret. Apart from the fact that it coincides with my finishing things I absolutely have to do each day, indoors and out, I like the cheerful content and the chemistry between the presenters. And sometimes they have really interesting features. Tonight&#8217;s programme visited Bristol (of which I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=helenyemm.com&blog=2140073&post=227&subd=helenyemm&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This evening I went to see Creation &#8211; a film about Charles Darwin. The film was absorbing  &#8211; somewhat over-emotional, perhaps - focusing heavily on the double trauma Darwin suffered as a result of his scientific convictions and the death of his daughter &#8211; and the rift they caused between him and his intensely religious wife.
