Space – An Awfully Big Adventure!
I have recently read the book ‘Orbital’ by Samantha Harvey, which is beautifully written and well deserving of winning the Booker Prize 2024.
The story takes place over 24 hours and tells the story of six astronauts/cosmonauts on board the International Space Station as it orbits the Earth. There are only sixteen chapters in the book, which cover the sixteen 90-minute orbits of the earth which equals sixteen sunrises and sunsets!
I am now hooked on watching the International Space Station orbit...
Featured book
Seven Years and a Day by Colette O’Hare

What the view is like
Due to recent flooding, we have fitted a webcam to the outside of our shop to allow us to monitor the river level remotely. But it also allows our customers to get a view of the Wye Valley!
We'll try and keep the camera pointing in a sensible direction. Let us know if you spot anything interesting! The image should refresh around every 10 to 15 minutes.
