height of three floors and was believed dead, drank a
bowl of dilute sulphuric acid thinking it was milk,
swallowed a pin, and received serious burns from a
gunpowder explosion. He also fell on to a hot cast-

into a river, then several times narrowly escaped

In one small rural village the local vet also led the local Neighbourhood Watch group. Late one night
the phone rang, and his wife answered. An agitated voice inquired, "Is your husband there?"
"He is, but tell me, do you need him as the vet or the Neighbourhood Watch?" the wife asked.
"Both!" was the reply. "We can't get our dog's mouth open, and there's a burglar in it!"
A group of tourists was watching the re-enactment of an ancient Egyptian religious ritual. One pointed
to the statue that was being praised, and asked a nearby local for the name of the god.

"Why do you ask?" the local man replied.
The tourist shrugged. "Oh, just idol curiosity!"
A group of elderly British tourists were touring Holland by bus. They stopped at a cheese farm where a young
guide led them through the process of making cheese from goat's milk. She showed the group a lovely
hillside where many goats were grazing.
"These," she explained, "are the older goats put out to pasture when they no longer produce."
She then asked, "What do you do in Britain with your old goats?"
A spry old gentleman answered: "They send us on bus tours!"

“It is like driving on the moon”
Some of our British roads are beginning to resemble “the surface of the moon”, according to the RAC. It has
recently reported that an average of 52 drivers a day are breaking their cars on potholes and needing to be
rescued.
More than 4,000 drivers have needed assistance since January, despite the fact that lockdown has meant
many fewer cars on the road.
After years of underfunding and patch-up repair jobs, and despite the fact that councils are currently filling a
pothole every 19 seconds, the RAC says that the Government and local councils face an ‘enormous task’ to
get our roads “anything like reasonable” again.
Potholes are nasty to cars. They can break your suspension springs, distort your wheels, and damage your
shock absorbers, among other woes.
We all like to receive a compliment from time to time.
As Robert Orben, former script writer for President
Gerald R. Ford once said, “A compliment is verbal
sunshine.”
Another American, Leo Buscaglia once observed:
“Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a
smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest
compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which
have the potential to turn someone’s life around.”
At a funeral service, nice things are usually said of
the deceased. While these comments are comforting
for the relatives, did the same folks ever bother to say
these kind things to the person themselves, when
they were alive, to show them how much they were
appreciated?
Sadly, not everyone seems able to compliment
others. Perhaps they never received compliments
when they were young, or perhaps they feel that to
compliment someone else is to somehow put
themselves down. For whatever reason, such people
miss out on a whole lot of pleasure in life. Celebrity Caroline Flack tragically died in February
2020, after taking her own life aged 40. Her death
Whenever we see something that is worthy of a sparked a nationwide conversation on the effects of

sunshine’ into someone else’s life!
Home alone, wanting a gnome
Do you yearn for a garden gnome? You are not the
only one.
Since last year’s lockdown, garden centres have been
reporting a ‘massive upswing’ in ornament sales, due
to people being forced to spend more time in their gar-
dens. Gnomes top the list of most-wanted ornaments,
with a near 100 per cent increase in sales over the past
two years.
There was even a gnome crisis a while back, when the
Suez Canal got jammed, and thousands of gnomes on
their way to UK gardens could not get through.

Broadway Station Progress June 2021
Our volunteers were able to return to work at the end of March, following the
easing of Coronavirus restrictions. Their main focus was initially on tidying up and
gardening to make the station look good for our visitors when trains started
running again in mid-April. The production and installation of spear fencing panels
on platform 2 are under way again, and the footbridge team have also been able
to resume their work.
The Covid-secure train service starting from Toddington continues,
but if all goes to plan from 17th May there will also be limited
opportunities to book trips starting and finishing at Cheltenham or
Broadway. All journeys must be pre-booked via the railway’s
website, www.gwsr.com, where the latest up to date information
will be available.
In addition, the café at Broadway station will be open when trains
are running (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and weekends) and
members of the public will be able to visit and buy refreshments.
All these arrangements are dependent on there being no change to the government’s ‘road map’, so please
keep an eye on the website.

"Good questions." But just as he is about to answer, the bell goes, and the kids go to lunch.

There is a proposed National Grid CPO application for a new pipeline and other infrastructure along a
wide corridor between Wormington and Honeybourne. The project that will assist National Grid achieve
its transition to net zero. National Grid needs to increase its capacity to accommodate more gas from South
Hook LNG Terminal by 2026. Construction is 2024, completed work 2025. Construction will have some
environmental and community impacts but increase capacity. The work includes installing 9 km of new
underground gas pipeline and connecting each end of the pipeline into the existing facilities at Wormington
and Honeybourne. It is now likely that a 900 mm pipeline (similar to the larger of those that are already
present) will be used. The work will be carried out within arable and grazing fields on the route of the pipeline.
The interactive route can be found at project website. To find out more – Type National Grid Honeybourne
to Wormington in Google. The website outlines the process of laying new underground gas pipeline is
outlined. The construction period will last around 10 months with work occurring intermittently at any one
location.
Proposed upgrade of the sewers from Broadway to Childswickham. This work will reduce the flooding
and pollution risk in Childswickham. The plan is to replace the existing pumping station with a new larger

Sewage Treatment Work. The size of a sewer from New Street to Farmers Lane will be improved to generally

south towards Broadway Sewage Treatment Work will be increased reducing the risk of flooding and
potential road traffic accidents. Timetable outline/detailed design was progressed April 2021 for approval and
construction is currently estimated to take from October 2022 till August 2023.

As such, from mid-May, details of the walks available will be on the website (below) where walkers must reserve their place through the booking system as numbers will be capped to keep the walks manageable. https://www.cotswoldsaonb.org.uk/visiting-and-exploring/guided-walks/ The walk leaders are very much looking forward to once again, guiding walkers around our lovely local countryside. PLEASE use appropriate footwear as some walks may be steep and muddy in places. MODERATE - includes some hills and rough ground. STRENUOUS – may be rough underfoot and ascents and descents may be steep. Those who cry over spoilt milk What happens when you spill a cup of coffee? Does the minor irritation ruin the rest of your day? Or do you simply clear up the mess and not give it a second thought? Our brains respond in different ways to minor negative experiences. Now a study by psychologists at the University of Miami has found that the way in which your brain responds may even impact your long-term psychological well-being. Psychologists refer to this as ‘spill-over’, which is the extent to which small negative experiences affect your mood and your day-to-day life. Not surprisingly, people who fixate on small things are less happy. As one psychologist said: “Basically, we found that the persistence of a person’s brain in holding on to a negative stimulus is what predicts more negative and less positive daily emotional experiences.” Don’t make decisions on an empty stomach. Scientists at Harvard have found that when you have higher levels of the body’s hunger hormone, ghrelin, in your system, you are more likely to be impulsive. This means that you will be liable to make poor decisions, tending towards instant gratification rather than long-term achievement. In one experiment, hungry women with a higher amount of the hunger hormone chose to receive £20 the same day, instead of £80 in two weeks’ time. So, ghrelin may well “play a broader role in human related behaviour and decision making, such as monetary choices.” Don’t forget Father’s Day on Sunday, 2oth June 2021.
