Plenty of autumn activity to look forward to as curtains close on summer
What summer? Has there ever been a greater sense of anti-climax than what we’re feeling in these dying days of a season that never was? Children are returning to school and the grass in the fields is growing even more slowly than it has done for the past three or four months. Most of usContinue reading “Plenty of autumn activity to look forward to as curtains close on summer”

Rain quits on cue for ride-out at Ray
As rain teemed from the heavens at 7pm, there were several desperate phone calls on Friday evening wondering whether the ride-out at Ray would go ahead.
