We were going to visit Bradford-upon-Avon to visit the weekly market but it did not seem quite right. The weather was perfect but a little cold. I had recently received a newsletter from the wonderful Michelle at Rockaway Park. If anyone has not been there and lives in Somerset then you dont know what you are missing. Long story short. It was a quarry. It is now a centre for alternative living...

New Ideas come upon me
As mentioned elsewhere I have been very interested in UFO's and aliens good and bad - of loving and heartless. I decided to make a special site devoted to interactions between aliens and us, and vice versa. I know from experience that when I jump on something and take action as soon as I get inspired, things go magically fast. This time was no exception. I got the idea Tuesday 21st February in...
A day of unexpected conversations
I went along to the Vineyard group as I normally do on Sunday mornings at 10 a.m. for a so called super Sunday. This is when newcomers and children are invited. There is no actual service. I arrived about 10:10 ish; there were very few adults available to speak to so I just hung around a bit and took the proffered coffee. I went into the church meeting room itself which had a full-size bouncy...
A sunny day (for a change) and meeting strangers

I do not necessarily think about this every day but I act on it every day. When I am out and about I...
A perfect day
Just occasionally things conspire together to make a day as near perfect as I could hope for. We were supposed to pick up our hire car yesterday Monday in order to have our beloved older Volvo repaired. The previous user of the courtesy car had not appeared at the garage until late last night, so we had to go today. As it happened the weather was warm(ish) for the time of year and the skies...
An enforced break from work
I have just returned from a pre-medical visit at the Sulis Centre, a branch of the NHS, in Peasedown here in Somerset. It was an hour's worth of appointment and it flew by. I am having hernia operation next week and for many reasons which I assume not being sued I had to go over all my details including any past insults to the body, all medications, any allergies. As I am to be under general...
