Always put candles and tea-lights into heat resistant holders and never place them near to curtains or soft furnishings. Remember that tea lights can become hot enough to melt plastic surfaces such as the surround of your bathtub. Know the fire risk.
Today we celebrate the 2 million service personnel including 999 responders, NHS staff and volunteer groups who keep Britain safe. We'll be observing the 2 minutes silence at 9am this morning in their honour

After a night of sickness & injuries, a battered/determined Henfield crew made it to Snowdon & finished the 3peaks!
Not all of us crossed the final summit, but every one of us made it possible.
