Our village in the news

We drove through Long Ashton yesterday morning at 7.15, to find six or seven police cars in the main road, and a fire engine. We didn't have time to stop, and there was nothing on the radio news about it.

We drove back through at about 2.30 p.m. Still lots of police cars, two outside broadcast units, and a huge police incident unit in the Co-op car park.

Very sad case - man set fire to his house, then hanged himself, , 6 year old child died :( I know it's a cliché. but I just wouldn't expect it to happen *here*.

More details from BBC news, and from The Times here.

visitation

Very nice to receive a visitation from gmul last night. He was fed with pork with pears and apricots, and we had a good natter, before he left on his motorised bicycle.

I'll take this opportunity to remind him that we need BIGGER LOGOS :)

Some people long for holidays on the beach

But perlmonger and I would be utterly thrilled to do this cruise around some of our absolutely favourite places.

I took this photograph on our trip to Oban 3 years ago, and I'm bookmarking that site so we can do this cruise in the autumn, cashflow willing.
