Why were they so keen to LOCK HIM in his TOMB? The story of Squire Cabell of Buckfastleigh. https://youtu.be/O4zCFLuJinI

#Devon #buckfastleigh #history

After listening to the incessant rain last night, I almost had 2nd thoughts about pioneering the #SlowWays route from #Buckfastleigh to #Ipplepen today - expecting #Devon #byways & #bridleways flowing like rivers or boot-deep in mud. A bit of both, but surprisingly passable. A flooded meadow proved more tricky. The original route, Bucipp 1 fails due to an access issue (lack of!), but I’d an alternative up my sleeve - Bucipp 2 gets 4⭐️ imo.
#Cake from Broadhempston community shop helped greatly!

It's claimed we're at a tipping point and need to help save swimming pools or we'll lose them. The Swimming Teachers’ Association say because of rising energy and living costs Government should reduce VAT to make them more affordable.

WATCH: Debbie Stenning is campaigning to reopen #SouthMolton pool

Also WATCH: A few weeks ago, 57 per cent of residents in #Buckfastleigh who took part in a referendum voted to pay extra council tax - 77p a week -  to save their pool
