There is so much to see in and around Bath and we hope we have found something to suit everyone. To begin, on Wednesday, join us for a 1 ¼ mile walking tour with the Mayor’s Corp of Honorary Guides. In groups of 15 or so, we will be taken to see the medieval centre of Bath and the famous 18th Century city. Highly...

Finally got my start date through for my part time Master of Arts Degree in Media Management. I start at the end of April and by 2005 I should be a white haired wizened guru, or abject failure drop out - that will not happen!

I have installed MoveableType personal Publishing System onto the site as the current Content Management System has gone into a development hiatus. I would rather go with a system built by professionals, nominated for a 2003 Webby Award and has some amazing features!

Oh oh. Heard a report on the radio today that Croydon is raising Council Tax by 27.5% - the second highest in the country. So I had a good root around the Council website and sure enough found a document. We notice that there is no referendum on our level of council tax this year. We also remember the councillors...

It is with deep regret that I have to announce the sudden death of my cousin Sarah. She died in hospital last week and was only in her mid forties. We shall miss her deeply.

The council have promised residents that there will be lots more parking bays put into the streets. Please let us know if you see any new parking bays - or indeed any parking bays disappearing because of lowered pavements or bays converted to disabled only. I have noticed in Temple Road that they have spray marked...

For those of the family looking for news on this years Pittock Reunion, I will be putting a new section up on the site shortly especially for this years event in June. Hopefully Mum and Dad will provide some copy for me to use although the newsletter they sent out a couple of weeks ago may provide some good material.

Hopefully this year will bring lots of happiness to everyone. We started off in good style by attending Mike and Nancy’s 1950’s News Years Eve cocktail party which was great fun - thanks you very much Mike and Nancy! I still think there was some girlie shenanigans with the charades but they did beat us boys square...

The Central Zone restrictions are now in force and we immediately noticed a rise in the number of cars - most without permits - parking in our street. This is people in the Central zone being displaced. It really is not fair on any of us. This will hit Croydon’s restaurants and so people will tend to go out for...

We have not had any snow or ice yet and only a very little frost. The garden is getting ready for a cold Jan and Feb. I have moved a few delicate plants under cover and Paula has been planting some evergreen clematis up near the elder. The Mind Your Own Business has grown very well during the latter part of 2002 and...

At tonight's council meeting there was an emergency debate to pass a motion to individually consult with every central zone resident whether they were for or against the changes to the CPZ. Sadly the councillors towed the party line and voted against the motion 36 - 27. The Fairfield councillor Pat Knight voted...

Just sent an e-mail to Christian on the XFM breakfast show who is looking for unusual advertising spots. He read it out on air so I am expecting a 20ft XFM advertising hoarding to turn up in the next few days to put over the garden pond. Won't do anything for the garden but it might make the neighbors change to XFM...
