After a brief period of calm in the summer, new disturbing evidence has been disclosed today of the weakened condition of financial institutions, both big ones and smaller ones. The US Government is in effect nationalising North America's two biggest providers of finance for the housing market, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Their regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, is taking direct control of them under a system known as "conservatorship". This is an event of profound significance for the global economy, since these two eccentric institutions own or guarantee almost £3000bn of US mortgages. Banks, including some of the world's most important central banks, have direct and substantial financial exposure to both Fannie and Freddie. So, given the febrile state of markets across the world, it has become dangerous for doubts to persist about whether these two are viable and would be able to keep up the payments on their massive liabilities. What's brought Fannie and Freddie to this humiliating impasse? Well there's the continued decline in the US housing market, the sorriest housing market on the globe (for all the falls in UK house prices). And then there's the discovery by Morgan Stanley, the investment bank advising the US government, that Freddie's capital resources are smaller than meets the eye. For the US Treasury, the bailout could turn out to be one of the most expensive financial rescues in history, running to tens of bil ...

Soon after Christmas in 2002, the Manhattan-based film critic Godfrey Cheshire, a North Carolina native, learned that his cousins in Raleigh were moving. Not earth-shattering news at first glance, except that his relatives, Charlie and Dena Silver, lived in the family's ancestral home. Midway, a bona fide plantation house, was built on land first acquired in the 18th century and had been home to generations. This would be a move in the most literal sense. The Silvers were planning to pick up... ...

I expected no less of Knutsford. I would have been devastated if it had a neglected, run-down, weed-ridden railway station. But instead it has a station befitting its station, so to speak, as one of the country's best-known towns. Because Knutsford is the setting for Mrs Gaskell's wonderful Cranford and it's still very easy to imagine the Miss Matty and Miss Pole darting up and down the high street and in and out of each others' houses. I was in Knutsford to speak at the Literary Festival on Friday. But the trip also turned into a little meander down memory lane. I grew up near Knustsford and loved the Cheshire countryside. But I hadn't seen it for a while and found myself quite overcome by its loveliness (the sunshine might have helped). Cheshire is a gentle, rain-washed county, one of grazing cows, rolling green countryside, wide winding roads, red-brick houses painted cream and maroon, and excellent place-names such as Mobberley, Goostrey, Over Peover, Lower Peover, Cranage and Puddinglake. I had only a very short time in Knutsford before my event but I spent it well. Steph, who reads the blog, had very kindly emailed to tell me I must not miss Fibre + Clay and she was right. It's the most wonderful place and I only wished I'd had longer to look at the fantsatic collection of hand-made ceramics and bags and jewellery. And as for the fibre bit, well, I'd give my eye-teeth to have something like this on my doorstep. And look at this. ...
