The next announcement:

 

We are thrilled and delighted to announce that Hannah and Ben are due to take their next huge step – they are expecting our first grandchild who is due to arrive in late August.

And we thought that the excitement of the wedding was a pinnacle!

March 2025

 

March sees British Science Week which is a ten-day national celebration of STEM, designed to inspire and engage people of all ages – 2025 was the 31st year of its operation.  The RSGB runs its own activities across the country, which Ian co-ordinates.  Unlike last year, the weather smiled on the week and so lots more people were able to take part in activities, so more activities went ahead put on by radio clubs, schools and even for the first time this year, “Men’s Sheds”.  All good fun and very engaging for everyone.

 

The month has been lovely weather-wise and the solar panel/battery system has been working overtime; unusual for March and a huge change from the rest of winter.  We never expect much this early in the Spring, so to be able to generate over 185kWh is great.  That’s a fraction of what we can do in the Summer, with longer days and (hopefully) more sunshine but terrific for March!  So that 185kWh is electricity which we don’t have to pay for from the grid – it’s about £50-worth just for March.  And of course, the grid doesn’t have to generate it for us, AND we can sell back the electricity we generate but don’t use.

 

Otherwise, Lois and Ian did lots of stuff with the Magistracy, Ian did lots with the UTC and Lois did loads for the various health-related organisations she volunteers with.  Ian got his 20-year service award as a Magistrate, too!  So, to summarise, we did a great deal of work and activities for the people we volunteer to serve, which is always a nice feeling, and we did a bit to save the planet too!
