Today being Wednesday is the day I normally write about some pithy and relevant subject. Well today is slightly different as I am on an outing to Yeovil Hospital to have my new hip popped in. This may disrupt the flow of articles on the blog so I apologies if this is the case. The picture is dedicated to my surgeon, Graham .....
Apart from being the only town that built the bypass through the middle of the town, Yeovil is also well known for many things from helicopters to cider. The area is famous for its leather factories and associated industries such as gloving. Times change and most of the gloving factories have either closed or moved into specialist areas such as outside bras. New and successful industries include Somerset Brie, apple brandy and ‘Srewfix’ …..all industries that bring lots of relevant skills to the replacement hip trade.
Everyone of course knows about Yeovil and football. The old pitch was on a steep slope that completely outwitted visiting teams. This is now Tescos in the middle of town and it took many years for the Yeovil team to learn to play on their new flat pitch ……. but learn they have, so watch out – they punch above their weight!

Thinking of you and your hip lots pop. Very pleased to read your paragraph on Yeovil Town FC, currently fifth in League One! See you in Somerset next week for a tankard of cider xx
Good luck with the op - no dance floor will be safe from tomorrow....
