Following the King: on the Great Ships Trail

August 12, 2016 By Allison Symes Leave a Comment

My next couple of articles will be about the recent Medieval Weekend, organised by the Road to Agincourt project and backed, amongst others, by Hampshire and Eastleigh Councils.

But this post is a first for me. It’s the first time I’ve reviewed a walk, or perhaps I should say “road tested” it! (Even when I reviewed a walk in Salisbury, it was more of a review of the book it appeared in, Station Walks, given I wanted to see just how accurate and helpful the directions and description of things to spot on the walk were!).

Sharing the Joy of Libraries

January 16, 2016 By Allison Symes 5 Comments

I love the word serendipity. It has a lovely meaning and a great sound.

This post, I think, can be thought of as being a case of serendipity.

I was planning a post about the joy of libraries for some time and then read Mike’s wonderful article from Sri Lanka about renovating the school library, which confirmed to me I should go ahead with this now. [Read more…] about Sharing the Joy of Libraries

Journey to Sri Lanka: Creating a Local Library for 1,000 Girls

January 12, 2016 By Mike Sedgwick 4 Comments

On the main road into Kandy there is a narrow doorway leading to Dharmawickrama, a school for 1,000 girls.

My wife Brenda arranged to visit to see what a state school is like. The contrasts within were striking. The building was poorly maintained and conditions were crowded and there were few facilities, no play area, squatter toilets, builder’s rubble in some corridors.

New 0300 Phone Numbers for Hampshire County Council

February 3, 2015 By chippy minton 5 Comments

New 0300 numbers for Hampshire County Council from February 2015.

Hampshire County Council has adopted 0300 numbers for contacting most of its services.

The main advantage (to us) of a 0300 number is the price.

Calls cost no more than 9 pence per minute (the same as what are now called “geographic numbers” but we used to call just “telephone numbers”.  [Read more…] about New 0300 Phone Numbers for Hampshire County Council
