Wakelin's Premium Coffee
Submitted by Ewan on
Barclays Bank Chelmsford had a pop-up business section running in December this year. I stopped to chat to the people from Wakelin's Premium Coffee who were there. Apparently they are local, but do not trade here or have a web site at all. They sold beans or ground beans at £2.50 for a 250g bag. Two bags were purchased (blends, which are not my normal thing): House Blend and Italian Passion.

Shooting star in North Essex
Submitted by Ewan on
In the early hours of this morning at 00:30 GMT I witnessed an unusal shooting star. It was seen just North of Chelmsford, Essex with a South-to-North direction. It lasted a couple of seconds and was yellowish in colour. Its width was quite large and it was visible through the clouds. What was it? A satellite in polar orbit breaking up, perhaps?
