Just no room to squeeze them in...maybe next week!
Like a good slap-up meal, Carry On Langport usually has some leftovers...stories we couldn't get in before the end of the week.
There's nothing wrong with them, just can't squeeze them in.
Nevertheless, here they are...a few quick snippits, no time for pictures, to give you a flavour of some of the stories landing on our news desk at the moment.
Back to the future?
A growing number of Huish Episcopi residents say there's something in the air that reminds them of life in the village in the 70s and 80s when stinking the place out (you could smell it down in Langport too) wasn't against regulations. Smells like a dodgy BBQ. Does somebody need to check their air filters?
Bow-wow on Bow Street...
A handful of people living on Bow Street, particularly on the town hall side stretching down to Scrivens...have been asking about the dog which has been barking in a back garden every afternoon and evening since anyone can remember. At a time when everyone's got their windows open in the heat...I'm afraid we can't publish the language in some of the e-mails we've received...nor can we condone shooting the animal with an airgun suspended on a drone.
Confused?
Pibsbury residents say they're delighted their hamlet's signs have re-appeared. There's now one on the corner up at the Russel farm and another opposite the B&B at the Long Sutton end. The fact that there's a 'welcome to Huish Episcopi' sign smack-bang in the middle near the old garage appears to be confusing 'non-locals' though. Marvellous. That's what we want.
Thank you Pitfest
Many messages of congratulations have come in for the organisers of Pitfest last Saturday. A fine setting with some great music and "how pleasing not to be fleeced on the gate" said one reader. Yes, it was just £5 to get in folks, leaving the public to spend their hard-earned cash on the inside.
Organisers of events in other nearby villages - take note!
Park in Langport and walk up!
We're still receiving monthly moans and photographs of traffic chaos on both sides of the Hanging Chapel when the Freemasons meet and pretty much [allegedly] "park where they want" (not our words) Residents have taken photographs, drivers have been stuck in Bond's Pool and people have even been up and banged on the door of the lodge to complain. But nothing's changed apparently. Having said that, important to point out that the lodges that meet in the chapel have made generous donations to local causes recently including the campaign to restore Langport clock.
Finally...
We all just pass them by every day without a second look, but as we head in to mid-July....let's remind ourselves how great the flags look this summer. A big pat on the back to those who funded them, made them and to the team who run up and down ladders all summer sorting them out when they get tangled up. Good on you!
Thanks for all your contributions.
