I have visited Stroud on several occasions in recent months and loved it.

The beautiful surrounding countryside, the Farmers Market with it's range of produce and diverse cultural activities makes it a town to be proud of.

I came across a group of Freedom Lovers who have a stall in the town centre on Friday and Saturday. I found the people running the stall and handing out the Light newspaper extremely friendly and engaging on a range of issues from health matters, including the application of alternative modalities, growing vegetables, care for the environment and being mindful of emerging technologies.

Next time you visit the town centre I would certainly encourage a visit to the stall and to engage with those lovely Freedom Lovers.
