When I'm out and about in the village nowadays I try to leave the car at home for a number of reasons:
1/ Walking improves health
2/ It cuts down petrol costs
3/ It's good for the environment.
I think number one is the primary motive. I spend a lot of my time promoting health, fitness and well being in the village, urging people to cycle, walk and exercise. So it would be a touch hypocritical to not practise what I preach. It also all ties in with the aims of Hethersett and the Meltons Sports Association which has been in existence for a year next moth.
Mind you I'm lucky to be around today. Was just plugging a vacuum cleaner in yesterday when there was a loud bang and a bedside lamp exploded! It threw out all the fuses. I showed my prowess as an electrician, however, by repairing the damage and getting everything back working relatively quickly. Actually I waggled some switches and pressed some buttons and hoped for the best!
This morning I walked to the village hall to meet with the parish clerk to talk about proposed development in the village and then in the afternoon went to the library for some research. Other than that Monday is always my writing day when I get various web sites up to speed and also send newspaper copy over for the Norwich Evening News and the Wymondham and Attleborough Mercury.
Archant (a newspaper and magazine group) have launched a new web site called IWitness24 which opens itself up to contributions from the public - a kind of online publication featuring stories and photos sent in via the Internet. mobile phones etc. I sent a number of photographs taken in early morning Norwich and they have been published.
