Wonderful walk at Chippenham Park Gardens today. Well worth visiting if you’re in the area. Acres of gardens and woodlands and the Potting Shed cafe does some good free range sausage rolls & cakes (so I’m told 😉)

It’s such a difficult proposition & one that I don’t believe can be fully presented in an opinion poll. I’m not convinced it could be in a referendum either. Almost every time I hear pros and cons, both sides of the argument appear to have a strong case. I’m glad I’m not having to make a decision 😞

Something a bit different for my Cancer Research UK November walk today. A lap of the Addenbrookes campus finishing at the Oncology department. If you can help me find the £120 I need to reach my fundraising goal, please visit fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/nigels-... Thank you 🙏🏻

Some believable stats on exactly how many farmers / landowners would be affected by this measure would be useful. No-one seems to be able to agree on the numbers and the range is huge!

I really enjoyed the Blitz movie. There's an incredible amount of detail, especially with civil defence uniforms & equipment. I spied stretchers being used which can now be seen as fencing around London. Watching made me go home & look up some of the events portrayed...
