Finally! This awful man has sucked up too much air time and newsprint.
I took this photo of St. Andrew’s Church in Aveton Gifford, Devon, on this morning’s walk with the dog. What a great way to start the day!

I think it’ll need a couple of listens before I make my mind up. Listen on Spotify. 🎶
I enjoyed the first episode of “The Gallows Pole” on the BBC yesterday. It’s the tale of the rise of David Hartley and the Cragg Vale Coiners. Set in the moorland hills of 18th Century Yorkshire, the drama follows the enigmatic David Hartley as he assembles a gang of weavers and land-workers to embark upon a revolutionary criminal enterprise that will capsize the economy and become the biggest fraud in British history.
I haven’t read the book, but I suspect it doesn’t end well for the Coiners…
The soundtrack is available on BBC Sounds and on Spotify.
Had a great morning messing about on the river with friends. We kayaked from Bantham to the weir above Aveton Gifford, where we stopped for lunch. 🛶

They’re sorry … while we swim in polluted water.
Water companies apologise for sewage spills and pledge £10bn of investment, but critics say it’s too little England’s water and sewage companies have apologised for polluting rivers and beaches and pledged that more will be done to end it.
Ruth Kelly, chair of Water UK, the industry body, said that the public was “right to be upset” and that “more should have been done” to limit sewage spills.

Since privatisation, the water companies have taken billions of pounds in dividends while delivering polluted rivers and beaches. They must pay to clean this up and not pass the costs on to their hard-pressed customers. Unfortunately, the regulator and government don’t seem to be on the side of the public.
