This week’s issue of The People’s Friend carries my travel piece about Caldey Island on its front cover.
It’s ben rather hot here in the Welsh Borders, recently. In fact, we’ve not had much rain at all. As the cliché goes, the ground is rock hard … except it isn’t. When I strolled onto the summit ridge of Ragleth Hill today, the ground sounded hollow. I’m not sure if I should be worried about that or not!
