		<title>Site Saved from Dastardly Attack</title>

		<title>Faartals in Flood</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I bet there are many people in Chesterfield who did not even know we had two &#39;rivers&#39; flowing through it.&#160; Yesterday they made their mark and the pictures tell it all.&#160; Not as bad as Sheffield, but still a disaster for those affected.

It was necessary for the Faartals to make a weekend trip to New York (near Ripley) to discover the murderer of Pepi Roni, the Godfather of the Roni family.
We were greeted by Father Alfredo, with more bottles in his/her bag than rabbits in a magician&#39;s hat, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Third Time on Whinstone Lee Tor!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the third time in eight days we have been up this route and with good reason!
