If like me the walls in your house are very thick. Which could mean you have dead spots. Where you either have poor or no wireless broadband signal.
Try using kitchen foil… Fold it in away, so it can stand up on its own. Place it behind you wireless router and curve the edges.
This should increase your signal as the foil reflects all the wireless signal into your house..

Sometime over this last weekend Sat 24th / Sunday 25th April a quantity of lead was stolen from St Peters Church in Alstonefield. The roof is 15feet high so ladders and a vehicle would have been used. The police at Cheadle would welcome any information in relation to this theft. Callers should quote incident number 286 of 27th April or for complete anonymity ring crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
We saw our first swallow of the season last Saturday. He was sitting on the telegraph lines resting so we assumed he had just arrived from somewhere. Is that quite early for a swallow to arrive here?
Also enjoyed listening to and watching the curlews when we were out with the walking group today.
