I couldn’t watch after half time. I really thought that Clarke was the unifying answer after years of disarray but I fear Rovers are beyond saving. Despairing!

Ive just received mine on a very grey damp English winter’s day and the first article with Sam West is an absolute joy and brought sunshine into my life - thanks Annie 🏏🌞

Wow then!

Wraxall, Somerset or Wraxall, Dorset?

I agree and recognise your fears, but I know these councillors as people who left the autocratic Labour Party some years ago and have been Green allies since then. Highly principled and warm, caring individuals who are a real asset to our party

It’s arrived- thanks for my signed independent bookshop edition. I am rationing myself as I read a chapter at a time and then absorb it all - thanks for writing this important book.

Hi Martyn and welcome to a quieter and less ‘screamy’ place. I think it will suit you as it does so many of us.

Thank you Simon for being a lonely ( not alone) parliamentary voice calling for justice, love and compassion. I know that it is tricky to challenge the media, party leadership and prejudice while keeping the benefits of party organisation but we do trust you to fulfil the mandate as MP for Stroud

Thanks Thomas, most helpful. I wasn’t aware of the power station car park expansion having not been down there since Nuclear sports social club days! I’d be glad not to block the lane by the farm and also find the Sharpness end quiet for birds 😊

How do you access Berkeley shore? I go to Severn House Farm or to Sharpness picnic area and walk along the sea wall - is there a better way in?

News today of a Nibley revival in 2026 ❤️

Good price for a beer that’s worth double that. Make a trip to the Fountain Head pub in beautiful Branscombe and enjoy it ‘in the wild’

I’m not back until Monday but the ‘vegging’ is part of my plan too. I’m now part time so I only work a three day week and Maureen is fully retired

And to you both! It’s a stormy one here in Gloucestershire!

Happy New Year Iolo

It’s good to get you in this platform, Ian. I’m sure you’ll find it quieter, less aggressive and more inclined to listen and learn than other sites. Anyway, Merry Christmas neighbour

Well, when I bought it, you had to wait 10 yrs and best at 25 years. Then it was in a box upstairs and got forgotten. I need a clean palate rather than a late night drunken ‘bright idea’

I have about 4 of those from the 1970s Rich and am scared to open them. Have you opened yours and if so is it drinkable?
