Drowning in paper (virtual and real) .............



Since the start of the Covid situation here in the UK I have been receiving an alarming number of emails pumped out from Westminster and associated offices.

The current total stands at  a whopping 2787!

How many people and man / woman hours has it taken to create that amount of content,  write those emails, send them out and deal with any responses they create.

...... and if anyone can calculate that figure, how much has it all cost us - the ones who pay for it all through our taxes?

I think that figure is likely to be bigger than "all the numbers" (as my daughter used to say)

Have a fantastic day

Hi and welcome to today’s blog page. We are back home after a couple of nights in the caravan.  It has been a lovely weekend but sadly 2 nights are not really long enough.   ©️2021 wytchwynd photography Yesterday after a slow start in the morning we had to do battle with a problematic water system before heading off to Exeter for the afternoon.  That proved to be a tad expensive as I happened to say that I liked a wicker-style patio set that was on Special Offer in The Range.  Oh boy!   Guess who left the shop £140 poorer? On the plus side we had a lovely meal at Toby Carvery, Rydon Lane, Exeter (not a sponsored mention - but always happy to discuss) that was, as always, great value for money in an establishment that is clean, friendly and welcoming. After the meal we took a steady drive back to the caravan. This morning was a little fraught because I was feeling a wee bit tetchy over this on-going water issue but hopefully I will get something resolved this wee...
