Highlights of 2024 - The frantic work to get the guides updated for 2025 is all but finished, and the Christmas decorations are back in the attic. So, we’ve got a little bit of breathing space to reflect on 2024, and choose our favourite bits. As always, we each nominate different places and seldom agree on a singular winner for any category.

Churchyard Curiosities - This Blog was prompted by my Sister who has volunteered to edit the Newsletter for her local church.
