I WAS disappointed when it emerged that Lyme Regis Town Council’s youngest member, 22-year-old Leon Howe, had decided to give up his seat. […]
I PROMISED myself that I would not mention the dreaded C-word in this, my last column of this most distressing of years. I am fed up of writing about it and you, dear reader, I am sure are fed up of reading about it. […]
GOOD news for the people of Lyme Regis – the town council is not going bust. […]
EVERY year I find myself writing in this column that Lyme’s Christmas lights are “the best ever”. […]
OF all the organisations in Lyme that I have been involved in over the years, the Royal British Legion is the one in which I have most pride. […]
AS I write this, there are 57 days left to Christmas – but as we head for a second lockdown, it’s going to be a Christmas like no other. […]
