I'm A Celebrity....

Last week Tom nagged me rotten because I haven't posted a Blog for weeks. Well, I told him, I've got nothing to rant about. Life's good. I've spent a week in Wales meeting relatives and having a good time with friends.

Then, just now, it happened! Like a lot of other sad people I know I was watching I'm a Celebrity... and there she was -Kim. To call her manipulative is being polite. To call her a control freak is being nice. She had poor Sabrina in tears and why? Because Sabrina, through a democratic vote, won the right to do a bush tucker trial. That wasn't good enough for Kim, however. In her manipulative opinion Sabrina shouldn't do it, Jimmy White should.

She argued her point voraciously, refusing absolutely to listen to any one else, and totally ignoring the fact Sabrina had won democratically. She kept on until everyone gave in just to shut her up. So Jimmy did the trial and Sabrina was left in tears. Who does that woman think she is. Do as I say or you're not playing! Bet she was fun in the playground at school.

And what is her claim to fame? Cleaning mucky peoples houses and washing George Hamilton's underpants! That'll look really good on her CV!

I have to sympathise with George. He's had affairs with some of the most beautiful women in the world. Elizabeth Taylor for one, beauty queens for a lot more, and where does he end up. Sleeping with bossy Kim in a broken down old caravan in a jungle! At least he gets his knickers washed!

Well, how's that for a rant. Stay tuned. It's X-Factor tomorrow. Mind you now the terrible twins have gone there's not a lot to say about it really.

Bonfire Night

Yes, Tom, I totally agree with your Blog about bonfire night. We're really lucky in Skeffling to have such a dedicated Village Hall Committee.

As for the addiction bit! Charmain has certainly spread the word about the jigsaw website. It does get addictive, but it's fun, too!

I'm off to Wales on Monday to search for ancestors, so this week has been frantic getting three more stories on Love Zone. These are for you regular visitors who have read the others! Hope you like these. I must admit starting the website was a bit daunting, but now I'm loving it. It's opened up a whole new world and much more interesting than just using the internet for doing my shopping.

Has anyone seen the Appeal in Skeffling News about Captain Duncan. If anyone's got any information please share it with us. It looks like being a really interesting story.

I'm off to pack for Wales now, or I'll be wearing the same clothes all week!

Wind Turbine Farm

For those of you who received the leaflet regarding BTs proposed plans for a wind turbine farm in Skeffling, you'll know all about this. For those of you who didn't, BT want to erect 5 wind turbines in the field on the edge of Main Road.

Skeffling Parish Council have written strongly opposing this wind farm, the main argument being that our area is slowly being 'industrialised'. We've got an ever expanding gas site, there will soon be about 80 wind turbines offshore, and a pipeline running from Easington right through our area. On top of all this the Environment Agency want to flood an area of Skeffling so that the 'bods' and 'woms' will be protected.

Easington Parish Council have also written opposing the proposed wind farm, as have Roos who are theatened with a wind farm of their own.

I sent copies of the letter from the Parish Council to Cllr. Richard Stead and Graham Stuart MP. This morning I received replies from both of them supporting our objections most strongly.

Then I heard that BT have finished their investigation and are proposing to submit planning permission.

Any objections you have, please leave a comment. These can then be passed on to the relevant people. Whether you're for or against another wind turbine farm in our area, I'm sure others will be interested in your comments.
