Caroline Munro helps shave Bournemouth mum's head in aid of cancer research. She also donated some signed photos, if anyone fancies buying one in aid of a good cause (link in story).

And now for something completely different. I have recently started compiling Spotify playlists for Wessex Society, based on the new music shows on the various BBC local radio stations around the region. This week's playlist contained a track which I thought could be a Bond theme. What do you think?

Why doesn't he just put a car seat in his cottage?The elderly defendant said that he liked to spend time sitting in his car as he found it more comfortable than sat inside his cottage as it helped to ease his back pain.
He also said he used the small Nissan Micra as a makeshift office to make phone calls, read and order beekeeping equipment which was his passion.
