Thank you for shouting and clapping for our NHS heroes!
A fantastic, countrywide show of support. And a great noise went up from us here in SPJARA-land. Stuck at home, self-isolating?
More and more of us will be stuck at home, especially those who are over 70 or have underlying health issues. So here is one way to use your time enjoyably: make a virtual visit to museums and galleries here: And for anyone over 55, you may want to look at Dame Esther Rantzen's Silverline web site - see here Enjoy your garden (if you are lucky enough to have one) .......
Many people will want to work in their garden at this difficult time. Both Dawns Nurseries (tel 01242 826877) and Dundry Nurseries (01452 713124) will deliver plants, seeds and everything you need.
