My monthly vlog, from the beautiful village of Weobley, in Herefordshire, will be published this evening on my YouTube Channel, Westcountry Wanderings. As well as an explore around the village, I read out the very best of all my viewers comments, and look forward to next month on the channel.

Just had this message from You Tube. Tomorrow is my 4th year anniversary of my Channel, Westcountry Wanderings. It has flown by, but it has been so enjoyable and I have seen some amazing places across the Westcountry of England. Thank you if you have been watching, commenting, liking my videos.

Can we all agree that before we colonise Mars/get AI to write novels we should first be focussing on creating a printer that actually, consistently works?

Well done for making it to the end of January. Stop whatever you're doing and read a book to reward yourself. If you don't have a book, then buy one from an indie bookshop, that way you'll be making TWO people happy.

Chancellor Reeves is forcing 76% of primary schools and 94% of secondary schools to make cuts this year. ✍️ I’ve emailed my MP @carolinevoadenmp.bsky.social to write to Chancellor Reeves to stop any new school cuts. ➡️ Can you e-mail yours? actionnetwork.org/letters/stop...

If you're looking for a place to do some work, the public library is like a coffeeshop where you don't need to buy anything and there's a lot more space and you can stay as long as you like and you don't get any coffee.

The whole point of studying the 1930s is to foster hyper-awareness. We should be nervous, pessimistic, jumpy. We should call out the first rumblings, the accidental tells, the faintest glimmers. Because it was so monstrous that even the whiff of it is existential

I filmed the second part of my Sapperton Tunnel Story today, part of my ongoing 'Secrets of the Thames & Severn Canal Series' on my YouTube Channel #WestcountryWanderings. Apart from the research and writing the script for filming today, I also made a couple of surprise findings on the ground.

Assuming there is one answer to biological puzzles is such a 20th-century approach. "Since the 1970s, biologists have favored this "enzyme quality over quantity" hypothesis. This study found the exact opposite." phys.org/news/2025-01...
