Richard Stevens blogs again!: An accident waiting to happen
http://richardstevensblogsagain.blogspot.com/2012/07/accident-waiting-to-happen.html
Richard Stevens blogs again! The occasional and disconnected thoughts and comments of a Stone resident who spends much of his time involved in the community. Tuesday, 10 July 2012. An accident waiting to happen. Waist high this side -. No indication on other side -. No audible warning = accident? The new system doesn't have any lights visible from across the road. The only visible indication is the red/green light at waist height on one pole. If that light is hidden behind another pedestrian, the...Westb...

Stone Music Festival comes of age! What a great weekend! Jan and I were in town for most of Saturday and Sunday enjoying a most amazing weekend of live music. And out of that visit, Steve and Kate decided to form a committee and start a Music Festival up here in Stone. And what a bonus - the weather was kind! Well done Steve, ...

Richard Stevens blogs again! The occasional and disconnected thoughts and comments of a Stone resident who spends much of his time involved in the community. Sunday, 10 June 2012. I don't know the extent of the damage or loss but, thank goodness, it was not as serious as we first thought. Of course, the question that I'm sure will now be investigated is how did the fire start? Or, more accurately, who started it? Fires like this are rarely caused by self-combustion! Saturday, 9 June 2012. And to finish t...

Richard Stevens blogs again! The occasional and disconnected thoughts and comments of a Stone resident who spends much of his time involved in the community. Sunday, 27 May 2012. Have you seen any bats this year? Have we lost the bats or will we see them later in the year? Did they not survive the winter or did the wet spring cause them problems. Or - and this is my current theory - has the recent spate of housing development in the vicinity destroyed their roosts? Tuesday, 22 May 2012. And has someone i...

Richard Stevens blogs again! The occasional and disconnected thoughts and comments of a Stone resident who spends much of his time involved in the community. Tuesday, 10 July 2012. Once in eighty years! The 'sump' where Scotch Brook. Goes under the canal about. To overflow into the canal! What is happening to our weather? And as a result Britain has had weeks and weeks of torrential rain and floods. Scotch Brook breaks it's banks. And The Star is flooded. Dare they say that now? Why does the run off from...

Richard Stevens blogs again! The occasional and disconnected thoughts and comments of a Stone resident who spends much of his time involved in the community. Monday, 31 October 2011. Wayfarer soon to re-open. I've just seen that the Wayfarer Inn is recruiting staff for the re-opening of the restaurant within the next few weeks. Up to sixty vacancies need to be filled. Whilst many of these jobs will be part-time, it is fantastic news for the local food and drink economy. And as a direct consequence of the...

Regular readers of these posts will know that I'm a bit of a keen 'bider' and that I'm rather proud of having attracted a whole variety of birds into our garden over the years. Well, this year we've really excelled ourselves. Yes, Mum, Dad and youngster! Photo not mine - sadly! Courtesy of Google Images. A Little Bit of Stone.

Richard Stevens blogs again! The occasional and disconnected thoughts and comments of a Stone resident who spends much of his time involved in the community. Sunday, 29 April 2012. I have never experienced such an outburst of collective anger and outrage before. I went for a quiet drink but was greeted by a whole pub talking about one thing only. The topic was, of course, the daubing of more graffiti around the Stonefield area the night before. Normally placid people are very angry indeed. On Monday we h...

A new shop in town! Wayne has had a shop in Hanley for many years and has now decided to come to Stone. I think he could do well. The young fashion conscious male has had very little to tempt him to buy in Stone up till now - I think this shop will fill the gap. So good luck luck to Wayne and Acapella. I'm not sure how bi...
