Malvern is a great place to live. It has lots to offer: Elgar, Malvern Theatre, great rail connections, a Waitrose, and, of course, the Malvern Hills. Who hasn't felt that elation on gaining the summit of the Malverns' highest point, the Beacon? Who hasn't been aroused with some other-worldy sense of history when viewing The British Camp over one's shoulder from Pinnacle Hill as you make your way toward the Wyche, perhaps wondering at the people who once dwelt there before the time of the Romans?
That is why an article in the Malvern Gazette has so riled me this week. Some villains have vandalised the Toposcope on the Malvern's highest point. In great red letters were daubed the signatories of two likely morons: Marc and Baz. Fortunately, the Conservators have taken swift action to remove it.
It's just a shame when things like this happen.
