The Ice Rink application was heard tonight at Windsor Planning Panel and was voted through with the conditions listed below: Ian did an excellent job of presenting the case for Windsor residents but then 2 councillors and the applicant talked in favour of it… that was a tad lopsided but thankfully the professionals made it…
The image shows what can happen if you spend too much time online and not enough engaging with people in real time 😉 I asked Gemini a few questions this evening… Is social media engagement replacing people meeting face to face?

This mornings conversation with AI reflected on those dim and distant days, when I was trying to drum up business in August but decision makers were invariably on holiday, or their bosses were and so, in many ways, I’d have been better off just taking the month off! Before social media, business decision makers in…

Would you like to talk to an expert on Windsor’s tourist information in English, Français, Deutsch, Italiano or Español?

Well, to be fair, we haven’t counted. We host events, people help promote the events, people turn up at the…
The day begins at Bourne End, and we follow the signposted Thames Path along the river all the way, apart from a short detour in Cookham. There’s a bit of road/river walking where the river bypasses Maidenhead, but the last hour or so is quiet, ending with a wonderful view of Windsor Castle. Distance: 10¾…
