It's Weeds The Colonel's Tackling This Weekend, Not D-Notices: Man of the week, centre of the biggest-ever dispute between Premier and Press, Colonel Leslie Lohan is now at home in the country for the first time since the big row erupted and he announced that whatever the outcome he would resign. His opinions stated, his position known, the unmistakable colonel left steaking London and the never-ending telephone calls for the peace of his country cottage and its surrounding five-acres to take up another struggle - this time with the land. For him it will be a mental but not a physical relaxation because he told Chris Ware that he now wants to turn what was once a strawberry garden into a planned garden. "and I refuse to have a seat on my motor mower or little plough because the exercise will keep me fit". At home, and looking forward to seeing more of her husband, is his wife French-born Katherine and his younger son Gerard who has just left Malvern College. He has an elder son at the R.M.~.Sandhurst. (his old school). Photo shows The Colonel does a little weeding in the garden of his bungalow in Charing, Kent, watched by his French-born wife Katherine, and his son Gerard.
