Back to the topic of visiting libraries... I went to the new library this morning. I was impressed. Light, airy, spacious, not particularly noisy (the children's area is out of the way on the ground floor). Local studies area (1st floor) was good; lots of resources. Still have all the old newspapers on microfilm rolls and things like electoral registers on microfiche. Microfilm/fiche scanners attached to PCs so you control it from an app. You can then download images to a USB stick or email to yourself. Maps are in a back room and available to view on request (though it

I am, for a not so small fee, available for consultations, after dinner speaking, birthdays and Bah Mitzvahs ...

And you can also go on guided tours. I'm booked on one next week.

Tried a few times with different teachers but no one would let me drop off at home.

I lead a team of volunteers who take samples from 5 local rivers and we record the levels of phosphates, nitrates etc. We are also checking the health of the rivers by taking samples of the invertebrate populations. We are part of an Angling Trust initiative involving over 500 volunteers. Thankfully, in recent years, anglers are far more aware of environmental issues. We are seeing ourselves as cu
