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 […]
