Bagging a Marilyn in Crowborough | Romeos ranked | Guardian footnotes | South Nesting | Bring back the eiderdown
I am sorry to see Crowborough involved in another controversy (Thousands march in Crowborough over asylum plan for former military camp, 25 January), but at least it removes the spotlight from the one that used to concern me as a Marilyn bagger. (A Marilyn is any hill in Britain surrounded by a 150 metre drop.) Unlike the Inaccessible Pinnacle on the Isle of Skye and almost all other Marilyns, the summit of Crowborough is in someone’s front garden. I am afraid the lure of the list was too great and I tiptoed up its barely perceptible horticultural slopes, but still feel guilty.

• If it’s any consolation to Zoe Williams and her dog (Victoria Beckham has trademarked her kids’ names – and my dog is not happy about it, 27 January), when I hear the name Romeo I think of her dog first, then Romeo and Juliet, with Romeo Beckham much further down the list.
