Anyone For Cake?

The servery in our village church opens for business on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. I'm on the rota for Saturday volunteers serving tea, coffee, hot chocolate, scrumptious cakes and tasty savouries. We get a variety of customers - villagers, cyclists, ramblers, and passers by. Dogs are also welcome, we are going to get some biscuits for them. There are no fixed prices, we just ask for donations, most people are very generous.

This biscoffi cake was delicious.

Pylons

The National Grid is a privately owned company providing high voltage electricity to the majority of Great Britain and some of the surrounding islands. Demand is huge and is set to increase in the coming years, particularly in London. To meet this demand the NG is planning to erect giant pylons over 180km of countryside from Norwich to Tilbury across the counties of Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex. The proposed route will pass through countryside between my village and the neighbouring village.

There is a lot of controversy over the plan to use compulsory purchase orders to plough up farmland used for food and tree production when there are brownfield sites available at Bradwell which are already connected to the network. National Grid is refusing to say why they deem that not to be suitable.

These pylons are nothing like the current ones, they will be of gargantuan proportions. The neighbouring village has erected this dummy pylon, which is only 1/3rd the height of the threatened giants. Despite an avalanche of objections from residents and politicians I fear money and shareholders will see the NG going ahead with their plan.

A Good Read

Twisted by Steve Cavanagh

Goodreads lists this as:
BEFORE YOU READ THIS BOOK
I WANT YOU TO KNOW THREE THINGS:
1. The police are looking to charge me with murder.
2. No one knows who I am. Or how I did it.
3. If you think you've found me. I'm coming for you next.
After you've read this book, you'll know the truth is far more twisted...

WOW This is a very twisty, psychological thriller with duplicity at the core. You really have to concentrate on the plot to solve the riddle. I can’t explain the plot without giving too much away and because I wouldn’t really know where to start!

I enjoyed the pace of this, it’s definitely a page turner.

∼ Happy Reading∼
