Undeterred by all the doom and gloom, we had a busy weekend in Horsham, delivering European election material, and we are all pleased with our efforts. We took a large pile of newspapers and worried that we were being over-ambitious, but with delivering sessions on Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon we got through […]

I had been looking forward to back-to-back pub quizzes this week. Tomorrow there is a charity quiz at work, and tonight I was expecting the monthly quiz at Broadbridge Heath Village Centre, but it was not to be.

Walkies

Having got up fairly early (for a Sunday), got the dinner ready and bubbling away, and mowed both front and back lawns I decided to go and take my cameras for a walk. For a change I went to the Leechpool and Owlbeech woods. The place is supposed to have lots of nature, and sure […]

New council leader
January 24th, 2009 · Comments Off on New council leader · Politics

This story is illustrated on the County Times website with a […]
