For a few months, I have been keeping an eye on the number of blogposts I churn out. I was keen to get beyond three hundred for the year and now I am up to 325. I am quite pleased with that. Back in 2005, when I started blogging, I only published forty two posts. I was happy to click "Publish" just once or twice a week. The following year, 2006, I created 125 posts and it wasn't until 2011 that I cracked the two hundred barrier - producing 214 posts that year.

My most productive year has been 2020 and with a pandemic raging outside perhaps it is unsurprising that I scored 340 posts that year. Currently, my output for 2022 ranks third overall and with twenty five days left in December I realise that I have an opportunity to make this my very  best year - at least in terms of the number of blogposts published. ...

Over a dozen people turned up which was an encouraging number for a first go. I was happy at ladle duty The TCA is run well. It’s full of good nature which promotes lateral thinking and inclusivity and activities taken on always seem to take place with humour and warmth.  The youth club is going from strength to strength, as is the toddler group. The casino night was a success as is the pond renovation , coffee mornings and now the warm hub afternoons.  The community orchard, trees are growing well just outside the village and will be sharing their fruit with anyone who needs it next year. The TCA is an example of self help and when Ol...
