The beginner of September is always a busy time as the nation collectively grinds back through the gears after the summer holidays. We headed off for a couple of days on Exmoor last week, then headed to London to celebrate my wife's birthday and to take our children to the incredible CBeebies Prom at the Royal Albert Hall. As ever, time away with the family comes at the cost of some of the amazing things going on back home in Somerset but I hope that the Moat Races in Wells, Mower Racing in Cross and all the other fun stuff going on over the bank holiday was a success.
This week I'm holding a Faster Broadband Fair on Thursday 1st September at the Draycott Memorial Hall between 12 - 4pm. If you're suffering with slow broadband, please do come along and speak with some of the companies who might be able to help. Openreach will be there and the Connecting Devon & Somerset project teams too.
