British wool has gone up 70% in the last year, possibly due to a supply and demand issue. However, the longevity and durability of British Wool is to be valued in today’s throw a way Society. The average person in the UK discards 16 items of clothing per month.

A woman called Sarah Turner is taking a stand to show there is a better way. She is wearing a British Wool navy blue, herringbone shift dress everyday for 90 days, this includes dog walking and a black tie dinner in Blackpool. Sarah is the founder of laundry and body care firm little Beau Sheep, so there will be no problem with “odours” as I’m sure the dress will be perfectly laundered.

Also she says that Wool is thermoregulating so will be perfect for all sorts of weathers, though she is relieved that we are coming into the colder months.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

The St Mawes Pier and Harbour Company wants to convert a small harbourside cottage into a building with toilets, showers and changing rooms for sailors. The St Mawes Pier and Harbour Company say that it is needed in order to reduce pollution in the harbour and provide support for a local business.

The cottage to be converted is called” the Tiddler ” and is part of a 17th century listed building which also includes another neighbouring cottage which is owned by a local St Mawes lady but is a holiday let.

She has objected to the plans that have been submitted to the Council as the walls are paper thin and the facilities would be open from 6am to Midnight and would cause excessive noise with people queuing for showers standing right outside her living room window.

She has support from a local Councillor ,it has been pointed out that St Mawes Sailing Club which is immediately next door already provides purpose built facilities for visiting yachts people with toilets and showers.

Interesting that the Harbour Company feels the need to have their own.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

Alan Hannay worked as a professional chauffeur all his life and relied on his memory to drive clients around London. Amazingly at the age of 70 he attended evening classes to improve his reading, but he didn’t find it easy learning within a group.

It was when he was asked by one of his grandchildren to read them a bedtime story that he decided to try another way. This time with a Charity called Read Easy and it worked. He enjoys reading for about an hour and a half each morning and goes to the class twice a week. It has given him a new confidence.
