It was fun to explore the Artisan , Craft and food market in Oakham market place today. Music too! Well worth a visit. Thanks to Oakham Town Council . Tomorrow there will be music in the park at Cutts Close – all free.
August 25th: Firefighters have to have a head for heights! Glad to join firefighter Pete on 30metre high platform above #Uppingham & hear about their varied work saving lives and buildings. Parttime firefighters required in Uppingham apply at fire station.
The team demonstrated what NOT to do with a fat fire (do not throw water on it)! We were advised to call 999 and get out of the house. My video (click on the link below) does not do it justice – I was unprepared for just how high the flames would go!
24th August: I had a fascinating trip through wedding fashion history in Uppingham St Peter & St Paul church. All local stories. Pictured is Vicar Rachel next to her wedding dress. A stunning one from Singapore; there are many others. Thanks to all the organisers.
August 15th: It was a pleasure to see our cadets in action at the annual Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Rutland Army Cadet Camp; this year at Merrion in Pembrokeshire. Adventure, qualifications, learning to be part of team, showing leadership skills – all are acquired by cadets at camp.
The cadets have a brilliant time and enhance their future prospects. Thanks to adult volunteers & staff – a great visit.

August 5th: How often do you meet someone who has returned from death? A pleasure to meet Dave Francis & family with the young lifeguards George Pollard & Reuben Hutchinson who saved his life by performing CPR. Despite the fact that he was out on the water at the time he collapsed! They are keen to thank their great training from the Aqua Park Group and support from Air Ambulances UK.
July 25th: Nearly 200 Coronation medals were awarded to soldiers from 1st Battalion, Royal Anglian Regiment at a parade in Kendrew Barracks, Cottesmore.
July 31st: The sun shone on Talavera Day at Kendrew Barracks as 2 Royal Anglians celebrated the famous victory and the start of some much deserved family time.
