Anyway, if it's your wish, enjoy an extra hour in bed tomorrow!
Halloween begins on Friday 29th in Hastings this year, 10.00am to 3.00pm at Priory Meadow Shopping Centre, when children are invited to dress up and start their 'trick or treating' in the main mall outside H&M, where they will receive a gift bag to decorate and then head off to stores on a 'trail sheet' and the opportunity to win a gift voucher from a test on the 'spooky trail.'
This event is free but children's tickets must be booked online beforehand: Link.
Further details of Halloween events over the weekend please see visit1066country.
No doubt much will be happening, eg in pubs, enjoy your weekend, stay safe!
At the weekend I enjoyed, mostly, a trip to Peterborough and highly influenced by dreams of Oakham Ales (website, and more later), which is the base of one of my 2 favourite breweries (Kent being the other), real ale bars, and maybe a point or three at football, fingers crossed... I had been looking forward to this day for ages! My first port of call was the Bumble Inn (website), close by the railway station at 46 Westgate, PE1 1RE, and which opens at 12.00.
Enjoy, stay safe, be careful for your pets and look after each other!
As a retired health professional I have consistently criticised the use of private companies, and friends of Government ministers, with no experience, to provide unusable equipment, including PPE, to the NHS, and particularly to run the Test and Trace programme ineptly for an extortionate £37 BILLION over 2 years (Guardian)!
From the start, people with experience should have been running the show, not pals of the Executive, that is health professionals and public health officials, and the results of any enquiries will always support this, as has already been shown. Indeed, I even have doubts about the input of 'expert' scientists, yes, their advice needs to be taken into account when appropriate, but scientists only are 100% behind things when there is 100% proof, they are scientists after all, they shouldn't be making the decisions.
And all that the MPs appear to be singling out as a success is the roll out of the vaccine programme (BBC), which, luckily, was left to the NHS, volunteers, and public health authorities to organise and run, thankfully...
God protect the NHS, please!
And, as we approach the anniversary of the Battle of Hastings, that is the 14th of October (1066, by the way 😉), Hastings Week returns too, from the 9th to the 17th October 2021, a long week indeed; for details of events go to the website.
Gradually getting back to normal, fingers crossed, stay safe!
I rarely dine out, but did so recently at Monellis, 43A George Street, TN34 3EA (website), just below the West Hill lift, after being invited to join a friend there after we'd imbibed a few beers beforehand... It was a pleasant day, before all this recent wind and rain arrived, and I have to admit much enjoyed, good food, good wine, good friendly service, good company, obviously, and other friends Paul and Debbie stopped to say "hello" as they passed by (they now live in Tenerife, so a wee bit of a surprise!).
Monellis specialise in 'traditional sourdough' and using ingredients that come from their home region of Puglia in southern Italy, and well worth visiting, enjoy!
