It's funny to see @dalevince.com wingeing about the cost of the dual carriageway that's needed for Forest Green Rovers new ground as if it's something new

The proposal he originally submitted in 2016 clearly showed they were proposing to dual the A419

There are many places I’d park around here but on the corner of a blind bend isn’t one of them
In the 20yrs we’ve lived here at least two cars have hit the fence from driving too fast
Though because he’s just about visible from both sides people are being extra cautious

20yrs ago today got a call from Mrs D to say they were going to let her out of hospital… by the time I got there it had become a case of we need to deliver this baby (at 33 weeks)
He's changed a bit in those 20yrs (he’s on the right)
Forever grateful for the care we got from GRH

Sometimes the internet is magic… here's a map from 1840 and plot 118 is the row of cottages I live in
The orientation isn't quite right so we're not sure if the building is the same or if it just due to the map drawing skills of the time (later maps in the 1800's have the right orientation)

Got this little ‘volunteer’ dahlia that’s growing in amongst the creeping thyme on our front verge
Every time I see it I’m reminded of the Koroks in Zelda
Makes me smile…

Been playing with Chrome's experimental support for measuring soft-navigations / route changes
