I'm taking the weekend off so no particular thoughts on diary topics. We went around the Somerset levels today and saw considerable amounts of work that had been done to improve the accessibility of the more ancient areas by putting down what must be tons of wood chip and clearing the ditches. Year after year I seem to miss events and that's either because we were not prompt enough to respond to...
I was sent this by a friend on Reels. I wish I could send the original link but exporting from WhatsApp is a pain so I have transcribed it instead. I feel it's one of these things that really should be considered by every sentient being including those who have a faith but also those who have no faith in other words, everybody. Ed.

This variation can easily run up the cost to £200 and that's via the internet without a personal...
I find that the mindset of the Chinese sellers is to advertise a product which lives up to its claims but only in the short term. It is not designed to last. # My first example a spotlight, an LED, which flashes or beams to order.
