Wisbech Town and Pokémon (?)
Since I last wrote, the game PokemonGo has taken over! We went into Wisbech town centre, thinking we might see a couple of people, but there were so many, it was fantastic! It’s a game of collecting, and gaining experience by challenging others to win ownership of a “gym”. As it’s all done in the …
Summer Activities
Summer has begun! (I hope it is still summer when this goes to print…) The children are all finishing school, and there’s clubs and events on everywhere. Some you may know, but many are run with little budget for promotion, so I’m happy to share those I’ve found, hidden gems of activities! One fun new …
Granny’s Cupboard
This week, I’m looking forward even more than usual to finding out what the headline for this column will be, as I think I’m going to take all the best descriptions here… I finally managed to get myself to the Old Market on the right day to visit Granny’s Cupboard. It’s a hidden gem, a …

My family have owned interesting vehicles for some years, so we enjoy going to this event each year, as well as the Parson Drove show. There are things to do throughout …
Rose and Crown and others
Last week and this week I’ve used the Rose and Crown as a business venue. I’ve said before how great it is for afternoon tea, and I’ve enjoyed lunch there too, we really are lucky to have a place like this in our town centre. Part of its charm is that it’s such a great …
Summer Events
And we’re off! I don’t know about you, but at this time of the year, it sometimes feels like everything’s happening, or about to happen. While I’m planning events for this September and December, and even next year (oh, that’s going to be a great one, just you wait and see!) Meanwhile the Wisbech arts …
