Derby News

Two bits of news in our patch.

The first appears on the front page of the Independent and on the BBC: the first two British suicide bombers. One of them is from Derby. Susan thought she may have taught him in the past at a former school. It turns out he went to another inner city school.

The second is the conviction of two arms dealers who apparently owned a farm in Little Eaton where we live. The farm house is near the centre of the village and pretty overgrown. For a while I have wondered who owned it, thinking it would be nice to buy and rennovate. Looks like it will not be occupied now for a while.
