13 April 2020 - Not the conservatory
Dear everyone,
Another note about neither the conservatory nor the greenhouse but the Telephone Box, this time in its role as the village library. Hilary says that people are obviously reading more at the moment and borrowing lots of books from the Box, which is great. She does ask however that you return them when read, and/or donate some more paperbacks, as stocks are running a bit low. Out of consideration for the social distancing procedures, there should be no more than one person in the Telephone Box at any one time – as if! But more seriously, if you are worried about accessing the books, wear gloves and put the books into a cloth bag. On getting home put the bag somewhere out of the way and don’t touch it for five days. This should be long enough for any germs to die off, and of course you can wash your gloves.
One or two of you have wondered about the rate at which the number of Newsbites still needed for my free coffee morning has been dropping. It’s a little more rapid than you might expect because I am taking advantage of a two for one offer plus a special discount for those who come from Wales, which means that there are only 14,467 more needed. Roll on.
Stay safe and positive.
Chris
