I Never Promised You a Rose Garden | Ofsted reform | Trollope’s bottled porter | Guinness while giving blood | Boxing Day menu
Before it was a song, the words “I never promised you a rose garden” (Letters, 29 August) belonged to the kindly psychoanalyst Dr Fried in the eponymous semi-autobiographical novel by Hannah Green. She wished to convey to her young patient that there was no guarantee that the road to recovery would be a pleasant one. Indeed, things might have to get worse before they got better.

• As a retired secondary school teacher, I note that one suggestion for the long-overdue reform of Ofsted is that “new regional teams will work with institutions to address areas of weakness” (Report, 2 September). I’ve got an idea: let’s call these regional teams “local education authorities” and their staff “advisers”.
