Africa, the moors and the cinema...

...were all featured in today's multifarious mix of topics with a range of good music too.
Many thanks to Willem Montagne and Geoff Stow for their contributions.

Willem is one of a small industrious group of Exeter people renovating donated hand tools for use in selected African countries where Tools For Self Reliance, a national charity, has partner groups which ensure the tools go to people who can make good use of them. If you can provide tools, please contact Willem on 01392 214325. If you would like to volunteer to help out with the renovating, get in touch too. They would welcome new team members. Find out more about
Tools For Reliance and the work the charity does in the UK and Africa by going to their website. Pictures above are from the Tools For Self Reliance website.

Willem is also very passionate about the joys of the moors and the moor he is most familiar with is Dartmoor. He is Education and Arts Officer for Dartmoor National Park Authority and enthusiastically informed us about their guided walk and events programme for adults and children. Find out more here.
