Good morning everyone - an early start again, but I figured if I sat and thought any longer I'd change my selections all over again and get myself into a real muddle !! Yes, it's like that with the...

Good morning everyone - sunshine again, after hail, sleet, wind .... you name it, but too cold to be outside so the roses get a reprieve for a day or so !! Hope someone has organised a large umbrella...
Last week I alluded to the Wey & Arun Canal so I thought it appropriate to give a little more background to this, I hope, worthy cause. The Canal was thought about and planned in the very early...
