Look up "Bluster" on Marine Traffic.com. For a better photo go to their photos page and scroll down for one when she was leaving port in Holland with this in tow.

It is not just the rogue traders who are criminally at fault, it is also some of the people that hire and inadvertently encourage them. My neighbour paid £300.00 to have a few small limbs chainsawed from a eucalypt two weeks ago. The chap who did it (with an Irish accent) was there for an hour, used no safety equipment, just a ladder and a chainsaw, when he was 20 feet from the ground. Cash ...

They can plan all they like but if they hold the traffic up any more they directly interfere with their own very expensively "researched" policies. http://www.teignbridge.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=33318&p=0

The Lawn was never intended to have steps in the Brook.  The steps collect the silt when it is calm and as a consequence when there is a flood the water is already higher than it would be if it had not been "sanitised". If there were no steps to impede the flow of water there would be a natural flush which would not only clear the silt but also clear all the other manmade problems such as the ...

The shop at the bottom of Strand Hill is available to lease at a reasonable rate and anyone with a good idea should approach David Force to enquire or ask advice. It will NOT be available to Charity Shops. If I find the rates too much to cope with whilst looking for a responsible tenant who has a solid idea to keep the premises going I will have to apply to turn it into a maisonette. It will also ...
