Category: Tales from the Vale

The Tales from the Vale section is best described as eclectic!

This is the archive of Andy Palmer’s popular ‘Tales from the Vale’ column for the BV magazine – meandering thoughts and amusing ruminations on life in the Blackmore Vale.

So when we describe this section as eclectic we mean it, it’s that and eccentric in all it’s glorious ways!

It seems as though Andy has been there and done that! And even if he hasn’t, he still sure to have a very big opinion on it anyway. So, you have been warned. Andy will take you there and back again, oh and did I mention the puns? Lord help us!
