What wonderful weather we have had recently. I am sure that everyone would thinking that how typical that it is the Easter holidays and we are unable to go out and about as we normally would at this time. Especially to the beach.

Meeting
The meeting today was different with very little chat.
In fact no chat at all.
No one turned up.
Neither did I.
I stayed home.
As did everyone else.
Perhaps I shouldn't have give up daytime TV for Lent.

Time and tide wait...
Because of the lockdown that is now happening and staying at home, I thought it would be nice to share some photos.
You may already know that the Bristol Channel has the second largest difference in the world between high tide and low tide. Here a some photographs taken from Wain's Hill in Clevedon looking towards Weston-super-Mare. They were taken at different times of one Summer's day that show a little bit of that tidal effect.
1. Taken at 16:01
2. Taken 16:31
3. Taken at 17:01
4. Taken at 17:29
Amazing really that in just one and a half hours such a colossal volume of water gets shifted. Or is it staying where it is and the solid earth is rotating beneath it?
Finally, here is a different view looking towards Wales later in the day at 20:20

Meeting(s) cancelled
In view of the latest information about the Covid-19 virus the meeting on Thursday 19th March 2020 is cancelled and those for the foreseeable future.
Here is a link to the British Heart Foundation website that may be of interest -

I have heard that some people are attempting to scam using coronavirus as an excuse and sending bogus emails out. How despicable can some people get? So please take care of yourselves regarding the virus but also please be aware of electronic viruses from truly nasty individuals.
When we all feel it will be sensible to meet again, I am sure that we will all have plenty to say and it will be a great get together.

A new room
We met today in a much larger room than usual but hopefully we still had a cosy meeting, with a new person joining our group.
There was a wide ranging discussion including events in the current news, our medications and even the precise location of a shop in Portishead!
No cake this week but will there be a gluten and dairy free cake next time that is also suitable for diabetics? A real challenge but I think it is very likely.
It was also suggested that we could bring along some books to swap next time.

Two storms since the last meeting
It was great to see everyone today.
A fantastic cider fruit cake was brought along to share, thank you.
There were many interesting topics discussed and nice to catch up again.
