Forgive me for wondering if Government-subsidised medical scientists aren't mainly finding new twists that will keep them in well-paid work for the forseeable future.

Sorry, but I'm getting increasingly annoyed by the ubiquitous BT advert about starting the New Year with their 'brilliant Broadband', when so many rural areas still have ABYSMAL BROADBAND at FULL PRICE from BT. Please spread this around. At the top, BT ARE CRAP.

New email is Rickmans@exorcizingdemon.co.uk

I've signed the petition to save our bees. Will you add your name?

I gather that, in this area, we can expected vaccine parachuted in by the SAS.

Why start the New Year with bad Broadband? If you live where I live, BT will give you decent, superfast BB for a mere £19,000.

Hello Neil. Sorry, but I've only just seen this. Many thanks. I can use the rabbits if I can find the right place. Just had the idea that could finish the book which is a big relief!

I've signed the petition calling on the government to keep the ban on bee-killing pesticides in place - with no exceptions. Will you add your name?

Thanks!

Thanks, Liz!

Can anybody help? I'm looking for really anomalous phenomena in Herefordshire during lockdown last early Spring - loud birds, profuse wild flowers, no traffic, anything unusual...

Nearly done. Out next year... if the moon allows.

It's a full moon... on Hallowe'en. I'm taking notes

Of COURSE we don't respond to covid tests. Our BB isn't up to it. BT doesn't even try. Took me 20 mins to get online this morning... and then it cut out twice.

One was more fun....'

Spooky connections… Diana Rigg spared me 4 mins one night, deep in the Brecon Beacons, for BBC Radio Wales, while filming Unexplained Laughter the ghost story by Alice Thomas Ellis who, a year or so later, became my first publishers’ editor. for the ghost story, Candlenight.

rickmans@exorcizingdemon.co.uk - new address. No point any more between exorcizing and demon. I don't know why either, but I was forced to.Starting to hate the Internet again.

Been forced to change email address, so now there's no point or space between exorcizing and demon. They've become one word. exorcizingdemon. The old one won't get through and last week didn't. Sorry.

What's not happening? With so many shops and restaurants still shut, Hay-on-Wye is starting to look like pre King Richard days...
