I typed in my old postcode and dragged the cursor down the lane until it landed in front of the house. I could still see a garden ornament that we had left there and the garage my dad had built for himself.To go back to our old homes and walk around them again is a fantasy Im sure many of us have harboured. Childhood homes seem to have a particular pull, at least for those of us lucky to have had a childhood happy enough to want to revisit. It was revealed last week that JK Rowling has lived out that fantasy, secretly buying, for around 拢400,000, her childhood home in the village of Tutshill in Gloucestershire, the place where she lived between the ages of nine and 18, a house

The ridiculous law that prevents artists from drawing in courtrooms has rightly been described as archaic by the president of the supreme court, Lord Neuberger.He told a bar council conference in Belfast that the ban made little sense in an age when people may tweet and text from court. The law that prohibits drawing in courtrooms, and using a camer

Section 41 makes it a criminal offence to take a photograph or make a sketch of a judge, juror, witness or party in a case.Instead, artists have only been allowed to make notes during hearings. They must then draw up their final sketches outside the courtroom.In October last year, artist Priscilla Coleman was given permission to draw inside the supreme court in London, where hearings are now filmed and can be viewed online.The supreme court was exempted from the 1925 ban in the 2005 constitutional reform act.Among the five supreme court justices in Coleman s first sketch was, of course, Lord Neuberger.Sources: PA Media Lawyer/London Evening StandardExplore more on these topicsMediaGreensladeDavid NeubergerUK supreme courtJudiciaryMedia lawXblogpostsMore on this storyMore on this storyBritish c
