Can you guess someone’s profession from looking at them?

Today we went to a local picture framing company who was celebrating 10 years of trading, of which five years had been in the premises on an industrial estate part of which is shown below. Outside I spotted a very flashy car with the logo "Greenplanet tuning.co.uk" I was intrigued by this and wondered whose car it was.

Afternoon tea and cake – Acker Bilk’s resting place

I noticed that St Mary's church in Compton Dando was offering tea and cake of a Sunday afternoon in summer between 2 PM and 5 PM. As so often happens, the advertisement jumped out of the page at me so without knowing anything of what would happen, off we went.

Celebrate CO2 – a day full of lots of things

Neither of us slept very well last night. I reckon I was unconscious for about three hours. When we were in Cornwall a few weeks ago, neither of us had any problem sleeping through the night but here there is too much energy so we must simplify our life somewhat.  It sounds so boring to an ever active Gemini but we got to do it.

Boredom-on-Sea…. the very classy Town of Wedmore.

Saturday is play day, especially with a clear blue sky and the promise of warm sunshine so off we go at about 10 AM to Wedmore.
