“The rise in the cost of living and increased energy bills means that many households will struggle with their heating bills this winter. People will be faced with tough decisions about when they can afford to heat their home.

To help residents, Bedford Borough Council is working with local partners to develop a Warm Spaces network. Warm Spaces will offer free, non-judgemental spaces where people can go to stay warm and maybe enjoy some company and a hot drink, or simply spend time reading a magazine or book.

The Warm Spaces network will continue to grow as more organisations share their details.

If you have opened a warm space and would like it included on the Bedford Borough Warm Spaces Network please contact public.health@bedford.gov.uk.

As part of the Warm Spaces offer, our libraries are also providing inclusive and welcoming community spaces with free Wi-Fi and a range of activities.”

If only everything in life was that easy? But its not.

A philosophical reflection on music from my perspective. I love it and people perceive what I do as being of some worth. But I will never really feel as though I really have it enough serious effort. In live music though it may not be obvious I am the eternal busker fitting in. So in essence its always a case of if you can make music and it makes you happy just do it with whatever means you can. That’s my ethos at least. My friend Danny says after a good performance if some magic happens “there were moments”

Cold out too right now, so I wont venture far. It’s hard to resist the appeal of staying in bed all day when it’s like this. Winter sunshine is great to look at from indoors out.
And here is a tune for you.
