Snow on the roads… Fog… And drivers…!
Posted on 12:32pm Sunday 24th January 2010
The recent weather caught us drivers out in many ways. Not only have we all witnessed bad road conditions, inconsiderate road users, bad drivers, but also now, we are left with ‘war zone’ looking roads!

The other day I joined a rock band
Posted on 8:12pm Tuesday 19th January 2010
The other day I joined a rock band. Sort of. After a fashion. Well no, more like I helped create a rock band. Sort of. Etc.,etc. It was certainly a quiet day in the office ('twixt Christmas and New Year) a graveyard shift if you know what I mean. There must have been eight of us waiting for the phone to ring/hoping the phone didn't ring.

X Fact or Fiction
Posted on 9:00am Tuesday 19th January 2010
Do you feel as I do, that the X Factor has begun to lose its appeal. Even though I find myself to be a captive audience of the show, sometimes bordering on addiction, I couldn't help getting the sense of contestants being given the wrong songs for them, during the run up to Christmas last year. This became even more noticeable as the competition hotted up. We, the viewers, on the other hand, were constantly reminded that we had the power to make or break a contestant's dream. It was our vote that counted in the end, not those of the judges.

Posted on 7:30pm Tuesday 12th January 2010
Each holiday season we struggle through the various challenges our families provide. It’s fun, it’s difficult, and sometimes truly it makes us nuts. I learned some good things this time.

Community Spirit
Posted on 9:00am Tuesday 12th January 2010
Community spirit is something, that those of us who are lucky enough to have it, so very often take for granted. Although we may not always take advantage of this extra ingredient, which welds our community together, be assured that any attempt to remove it, would result in howls of protest. The same is true of our local shop, which is very much a part of our community. Some time ago, it was put up for sale, and generated interest from a potential buyer, hoping to obtain a 'change of use' from village shop to village restaurant.

Faces old, faces new
Posted on 11:35am Monday 11th January 2010
Newspaper photographers photograph people. More than anything else, we photograph people. Sometimes they are desperate to be photographed ( celebrities, politicians, anybody with something to sell, pr managed individuals who need to arrive through your letterbox, cloaked within the authenticity of journalism as opposed to advertising.)
