Variety is the Spice of Life etc etc……
This weekend was one of the more hectic ones I have had for a while, with a diversity of activity and entertainment on my travels across Hampshire and Berkshire. Firstly on Friday night I visited my old village of Tadley and The Fox and Hounds pub.....actually, Tadley is not a village anymore, it is a town now, though how it calls itself a town is questionable, it doesn't even have a Greggs or a MacDonald’s. The Fox now features two ...

I am going to the Rythm festival in Biggleswade this weekend where it is going to rain and I am going to be accompanied by three Southampton supporters who will undoubtedly be gloating about their rise to the top of the Championship whilst Reading flounder in the lower echelons. However, that is the only bad bit, as they are good chaps really and they have a similar taste in quirky music to me. The line up featuring The Men They Couldn't Hang, ...
