Another 3 shops in the Quedam Centre Yeovil have closing signs in their windows.
There are now stretches of empty shop units. Why are these shops closing rent, Council Tax or are people just not spending as they used?

Volcanic Ash in Yeovil

Have you seen any volcanic ash from Iceland in Yeovil! My car looks dirtier than normal but that is probably me not having cleaned it recently.


I have heard stories of local folks driving back from Italy to France and Using Ferries to get home.

The true cost of not been able to fly is slowly appearing. I had not realized how much fresh food is flown into the UK.

I am sure if Volcanic dust is falling from the sky it can’t be good for you, but the reports on the news websites seems to say little Risk unless you have an underlying problem.
