Françoise has continued to enjoy the wild swimming in Vobster . I am figuring out the culture of swimmers and divers. Françoise finds that the fellow swimmers, normally female, are very friendly but I found that the divers are a special breed. it must cost a fortune to kit yourself out with the required gear. I can imagine people getting hooked on it. It seems that the facility is open almost...

Freedom from fear – the fear of Freedom
"The Fear of Freedom" is a seminal book by Eric Fromm and made a great impact on me. Many people are too frightened to be themselves and thus claim a passport but essentially to an acting role.

It takes a lot to remove the charisma from Frome. There were limited people wandering around but a lovely warm atmosphere. I wanted to go up to the mask wearers and shake them.
A mixed day – Wetherspoons excels itself
