A bumper edition for September, covering the harvest, a batch of weddings and other celebrations alongside a lot of parish news.

The weather in April dominated our May edition. Finally, however, the world is warming up at last, and Spring, hopefully, is on its way. And, for a small village, there is still a lot going on. Sadly, we also record the death of our most senior villager.

This edition was devoted, in the main, to recording the snow and floods of the past two months, as well as including three obituaries.

This is a marathon, 24-page bumper issue to keep our villagers occupied throughout the cold, lockdown months of January and February.

Lack of time thwarted our plans to make this a bumper edition. Instead, we kept it short, publishing only regular articles and news and information about village events and the new pandemic rules. Next month will be very full!

For a small village, its surprising how much goes on, from crop rotation to flying tree branches, serendipity to drawing, sloe gin to kite flying.
