A Great Scam It all started this last Monday when I wrote to my friend who was going to send me some computer kit. Apparently went to the post office to post this and sent me a bill accordingly. On the Tuesday morning, two days ago,  I got a text message from EVRI, a parcel delivering company, telling me that my parcel could not be delivered on the Monday since nobody was home. Strange that the...

I woke up fairly early, 06:15 actually, to the sound of rain. I made a coffee plus a toasted baguette with cheese and turned on GB news. I alternate with Talk TV.

The Sermon was on the topic of rest. I don't do rest very well but as I pointed out...

You need to be sharp eyed to see what this is. Clue - it is in Frome. This is the high season for anything involving outdoor celebrations whether themed or locally based.  There is the Priddy Folk Festival which is £120 for two days.  No day tickets are available as the weekend tickets have taken  priority. We have our local fair in Midsomer Norton. There is a large Festival in Bath. We awoke to...
