Canon Daniel Clement is Rector of Champton. He has been there for eight years, arriving at the invitation of the patron and landowner, Bernard, Baron de Floures, of Champton House. Daniel’s previous post was curate at a smart central London parish, where he got to know the de Floures family through his brother Theo, an up-and-coming actor and socialite. Audrey Clement, his widowed mother, lives with him at the Rectory on the estate. He has two dachshunds, Cosmo and Hilda. The story begins with Daniel announcing from the pulpit a plan to install a lavatory in church. This is long overdue, he thinks and so does Bernard de Floures, but the announcement goes down badly with the parish. Firm opposition comes from Mrs Harper and Mrs Dollinger of the Flower Guild, who are habitual opposers of change. There is opposition too from others who do not like the the thought of matters lavatorial in church.

We’d all love to know what our dog is thinking – if only it could tell us when it’s in pain, when it’s stressed, whether it’s fine being left alone for half a day or whether that makes it sad. Does it enjoy one particular walk more than another? Does it like what you feed it? Why does it chew the sofa when we go out? Why does it bark at joggers but not cyclists? Why does it howl at night? And will it ever stop chasing next door’s cat? The truth is that your dog is communicating with you all the time, but unless you know the signs, you aren’t picking up on what your dog wants you to know. Louise Glazebrook is a dog trainer, behaviourist, and television presenter, who specialises in teaching people how to understand and connect with their dogs. Most dog trainers focus on the dog, but Louise focuses on you, giving you the skills and confidence to interpret your dog’s needs and behaviour.
