We’ve stayed closer to home in 2026. In March we took our video camera on a Cornish pub crawl in search of early spring flowers and good West Country beer and in May we took part in Levellers Day, the annual commemoration by the Labour Party of the brutal suppression by Oliver Cromwell of troops demanding more equality for common people in the churchyard at Burford, in Oxfordshire, in 1649. Chuck resumes his neglected blog by recalling his military service in War Stories. And Judith continues to fill up Sketchbooks.
What’s New?
You can view 90 videos in the Cinema – mostly travelogues ranging from one to sixty minutes. For armchair travel enter the Library and read our Travel Diaries. You can also access the Bookshop here. In the Theatre you can read the reviews and watch two productions and one read-through of a new play. In her blog called Perspectives Judith continues the series of articles collected in her book of that title exploring life and culture from a General Practitioner’s viewpoint. Chuck also posts occasional reflections on his blog, Growing Old Gratefully. And there’s a Gallery where you can view some of our favourite photographs (this bit now under reconstruction, alas).
