My Somerset Life

My website has benefited in popularity by the fact that people have got more time at home in their isolation and that the subject matter, 5G and the coronavirus, is a matter of interest. My figures are nothing compared...

To Tesco's to find an orderly line of people, about 40m in length, waiting to be admitted.  I wanted to cut a key for my new car of that particular outlet is closed. To Lidl.  No queues.  Another skeptical person...

These days are a challenge to all of us and the only way you can keep going in my view as a daily diet are the basics of  positive mental activity, a balance between work and play, and a sense of humour and not...

After last evening's bombshell by the Prime Minister we are informed that we must stay at home and only go out for exceptional reasons.  It is a question how the British public will respond to this.  First of all, we...
