<t>Oh Dawn that has made me sadder than I can say, though I cannot blame you a bit, we feel it too and we live here. Pat, since you ask where everyone is, I will say the thing I have been worrying at on my own. Has anyone heard from Nan? She went very quiet on the other board a while back, said she ...

There was no call for any of that, whoever you are. We are a friendly board and we talk to each other kindly. If you have a worry you are welcome to it but not in those terms and not shouting at people who have done you no harm.

Hear hear. Kettle's on, as the man says. Long may it stay on.

<t>I dont quite know where to put this but here will do. Roy and I have started seeing men out on the estate, up the Ramsbury end. Always two, always a big clean vehicle, nothing of the farm about them. They dont threaten you. They just sit, or walk the field, and look at you until you would rather ...

<t>Roy and I have always taken the dog up to the Soldier's Grave, the old barrow on the down past the wood, every spring since we married. This year there is a new steel gate across the bridleway and a sign, private, no public right of way, where there has been a right of way the whole forty years w...

<t>Might I say, as a local who doesnt go, I rather like that they come. The one morning of the year the down is full of people again, even if half of them are daft as brushes. It is the gates and the litter I mind, not the people. Shut the gate behind you, take your tent home, and most of us wouldnt...

<t>We are managing, Roy and I and the dog. Our daily walk feels like Christmas morning these days, funny how an hour out on the down has become the whole shape of the day. We are luckier than the townsfolk, we have the space. I do think of those on their own though. Nan, you are not on your own whil...

<t>Snow up top this morning and the whole vale white to the edge of sight. Roy and I went up before it got churned, and the stones at Avebury in snow are something you do not forget. A few photos below. The village children were sledging on the hillfort slope, the same as every generation has, I sho...

<t>I cannot thank you all enough. He is home. Cross as two sticks at being told to rest, which the nurse says is the best sign there is. We read your messages out in the ward and he got quite gruff, which is Roy being touched. The dog has not left his feet since he walked in. Bless you all, you have...

<t>I hope it is alright to put this here, I dont quite know where else. Roy had a turn on Tuesday on the walk, came over grey and couldnt get his breath, and we have been in and out of the hospital since. They think it is his heart and they are pleased with him now, but it has been a frightening few...
