I thought it might be worth starting an article here to warn neighbours of upcoming Bonfire parties. They're always exciting for the kids (and parents!) but can be worrying for those with pets (or a nervous disposition) so feel free to add comments on this article to let people know when and where you'll be having fireworks if you feel it appropriate (these are for information, not public invites!) - always best to keep on the good side of your neighbours after all!

Have fun and be safe....

A word to strike dread into the heart of long time locals and frequently unheard of by many, the term ‘Carnser’ is a rural dialect term for a raised stoned path over wet ground. Our own Carnser runs from Langwoods all the way to the Church (since it was extended in 2000) - or does it just run to the Old Post Office?

Part of the reason for raising this subject is to test a new feature of the website I have just added - the ability to write comments on a story / article. Frequently requested and finally implemented - so get commenting!!

The iconic red telephone box (or kiosk as they are more formally known) that sits beside the Street Forge Workshops in Thornham Magna is to be decommissioned by BT. The relentless invasion of mobile telephony means that traditional telephone boxes are redundant as functional entities - but are they something more than that? More importantly, do you want to keep it?
