As we all know it’s pretty cold at the moment and more snow is on the way http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/ , but suppose that you’re homeless, stuck out on the streets of Aylesbury with nowhere to spend the night, well fortunately there  is a charity providing a night shelter for you to go to, spend the night get some […]

So the Tories are allowing Gas/Oil Fracking to resume, the brilliant new idea from the Cons is to allow a debatable way of extracting gas and oil to power our homes for the next 30 years. This decision is at best questionable, Fracking has brought headlines of doom and disaster, or as a saint and […]

I’ve been out for a dog walk and Blackberry pick today, sadly the blackberries are pretty poor this year, probably won’t have enough for jam but that’s nature for you. On the walk we went past the site of the former Bedgrove Park teen shelter, it’s really sad that this had to be removed but […]

A quick update for you on the damaged teen shelter in Bedgrove Park, the damage has been repaired, the floor and roof have been patched, and a new panel of plywood fixed onto the side. The council cannot afford to keep repairing the shelter, so take care of it, or you will lose it, given […]
