Home Page It might have been the exceptionally damp wet weather that we had last year. We had a series of flood alerts, reaching their peak last November. This seemed to cause the peanuts to go mouldy almost as soon as we put them out. They're popular enough this morning with Blue and Great Tits and, of course, with the House Sparrows. A Beauty Spot or Landscape Blot?DEADLINE FOR PROTESTORS OVER HORBURY BEAUTY SPOT Is the headline on the billboard. What deadline? Protesting about what? And does Horbury really have a beauty spot? The people who write the headlines certainly know how to grab my interest. There's nothing in the newspaper, the poster must refer to a previous issue, so I e-mail the local reporter. The beauty spot in question is the valley; I'm glad it's not just me who thinks of it that way. The protests are over a plan to build a bungalow on the valley side, next to a piggery.
