Today is the first International Day of Protest against 5G. There was a planned demonstration in Bristol on College Green so after some procrastination, we decided to go. Bristol is hopeless for parking so we did our usual thing and caught the 376 bus from Farrington Gurney to Bristol bus station. On the way, we popped into an art shop, almost evangelical in its approach. As you will see from...

Stourhead is in Wiltshire, but only 35 min from where we live in Midsomer Norton. There is something about lights at...

There is only one way to celebrate and that is by going to Hartleys Kitchen, rookery farm, Binegar. It's not actually in this place, but in the middle of nowhere.  If you want an excellent and jolly meal,  type in BA3 4UL or visit their website. Very few people do things well. The best cafes are family run and you can feel it when you walk in. Paul, the proprietor, has an excellent memory for...
