I had some exciting news yesterday: I won a prize in Friday’s raffle for Children in Need! And the prize was… a signed photograph of Simon Cowell! When Jane Scott presented this to me with all due pomp I was reminded of the High Court Judge in the 1960s who was reported to have said in court, ‘and who, pray, are the Beatles'’, as I’ve never seen Simon Cowell myself. But...

Jeff Keen was born just a few miles away from where I now live, in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, in 1923. He started making films relatively late, aged 37 – the same age as I am now. Unfortunately, that's where the similarities end, as Keen is now an octogenarian experimental film-maker who this year had a bfi boxed-set released of his forty-odd short films. They're an extraordinary experience: seeing...

Can't remember what sort of a night Friday night was (brain like a sieve), couldn't have been horrific or I would remember. The morning saw us back at HLC for Tom's swimming lesson, he did fine. A couple of little grizzles, but apart from that he was good. He holds on to the edge of the pool really well now. I can leave him there, whilst I put goggles on which is very handy. Once the lesson was over,...

Tireless British National Party councillor and campaigner Michael Simpkins has announced his intention to apply for a £1,600 grant from the Wiltshire County Council to celebrate white history month — because that was what they paid towards this month’s black history celebrations in the region. “I was delighted to read in the Wiltshire Times how black history month was celebrated...

Next Friday we have the Wiltshire Assembly, the biannual gathering of people from public, voluntary and business sectors. At our previous meeting we launched George Bright’s report on the impact of the recession in Wiltshire; what a long time ago that seems, we’ve achieved a lot since then. This meeting of the Assembly will focus on aspects of sustainability. I’m due to speak in a...

Yesterday afternoon I attended the A.G.M. of Age concern Wiltshire at the Corn Exchange. After the guest speaker finished her speech there were questions, including one from a gentleman who made some highly critical comments about local authorities’ policies regarding ‘Blue Badges’ for people with disabilities who need special parking permits. I was taken aback, as we’ve improved...

There was the ‘Sale of Council Housing’ and The ‘Enfranchisement...
