What’s the story? Autumn glory!

I started this week with a glorious walk through Frith Wood. It was the perfect place for me to spend a misty Monday morning, as I prepared to start my new ‘Community Connector’ role in Malvern that afternoon.

‘Sleep Well For Sleeptember’

The Sleep Charity’s annual awareness campaign was launched at the beginning of this month.

It was a joy to be able to join the Reader Leader Shared Reading group in The Courtyard Theatre cafe this morning. We heard reports from the groups in Hereford and Abergavenny, talked business for a bit, then (those who wanted to) brought a selection of poems to the table.
