Filed under Attractions, Miscellaneous
Not a blog post I ever thought I’d find myself writing, but there it is. ’London through the eyes of a red ball’. And, without a further ado, we’ll leave you to watch this video made by ’seeya’ which recounts the adventures of a red ball that escapes from a London shop and takes in a number of sights on its travels through the capital. Enjoy!

The newly named Royal Wootton Bassett
Filed under Events, Miscellaneous
Thousands of people have lined the streets of Wootton Bassett today as the town takes on a new title: Royal Wootton Bassett. Its the first time in over a century (since Royal Tunbridge Wells in 1909) that a place has been granted such an honour. In Wootton Bassett’s case, it’s to honour its role in repatriating British military personnel killed in war. Signs have already been erected to mark the change.
