A visit to a ghost market in Wells

Saturday is a bigger spend day because we go out. Off to Midsomer Norton market. The bread person was not there due to a medical operation. We went to our fish stall. Deliveries of fish were very limited due to delays at the channel ports. Everyone except one or two were masked up - in the bright sunshine.  These are the people who believe anything they are told.

How much more punishment does the world have to take before people start thinking and claiming their God given power. There are very few people in our neck of the woods (Somerset, UK)  who are NOT afraid. Just count the masks.  Survival and the retention of integrity is the name of the...
