Area Weather


This is just a brief note for the first week of the month.

June has been a really busy time in the area There was the South Tawton Parish Day which was a resounding success, the South Zeal Open Gardens which suffered the first day of the change in the weather from glorious sunshine to rain. Sticklepath had the first Real Ale Festival, the Summer Ball, the Tea Dance and the Chess Festival and Belstone had its Boot sale. In addition there were the Netball competition and the Eastlake Barn Dance as well as the Quiz night, the Story Tellers, the Hosta Open Gardens and, to cap it all, the European Elections.

Everyone had been saying how badly we needed the rain and, now that their prayers have been answered, they are maybe having second thoughts.

The site stats appear to be up again with the number of visitors staying longer, as well.

I personally have been trying to catch up on some decorating about the house and the building of other web sites so, as usual, the end of the month suddenly becomes a rush I have been looking back to the start of this site and trying to determine its future. It is this that I will comment on, after July gets underway.

New entries : The first of an occasional page from Doreen in Australia ; A press release from The Dartmoor National Park; Two new pages of photos, one each for South Tawton and Belstone.

ps One final thing. I have again been asked how to get the full width of this site on screen without needing to scroll. Simple set your screen to 1024 x 768 pixel size. On a blank screen, right click, choose 'properties' and then the 'settings' tag. You can then reset your screen. If you don't like it, you can reset it.
