Today's walk and the latest Rutland news

As today did not feel much like spring, Annie and I just went for a short walk down the hill and back up again. Apart fron Annie learning to fly (see white flying dot in photo), this was exceptionally uneventful. On the way home we stopped at the post office and bought a Rutland Times.

Now news isn't something that happens much in Rutland. Somehow Johnson Press manage to churn out a newspaper once a week, and this week's major headline story (full front page) is a change to parking restrictions on Uppingham High Street (you'll be allowed to park for two hours instead of one from July). I was going to link to the article on the web, but it seems in the fast changing world of Rutland news the story has already been surplanted by the announcement of new public toilets in Oakham .

In terms of crime, it seems a holly tree has been stolen from someone's garden. So I was delighted to read that our exhorbitant council tax has been put towards installing new CCTV cameras in Oakham and Uppingham. Presumably to prevent cottaging in the new toilets in Oakham or overstaying two hours on the High Street in Uppingham.
