12 July 2020 - The Pond and Masks
Dear all,
Now that we are allowed out into the open air in groups, with distance between us of course, it has been decided that the village clean-up of the Pond will take place on Saturday, 25 July starting at 9 am. Peter Riley has again generously volunteered his field as the resting place for the pond detritus, so if you could turn up, not necessarily on the dot of 9 but as near as you can manage, with if possible a rake, secateurs and/or a wheelbarrow, your assistance will be greatly appreciated. The more the merrier, as many hands make light work - no platitude knowingly missed. This event has always been a pleasant neighbourly occasion, and the weather looks set fair. I’ll give you a nudge nearer the date, but mark it in your diary before it becomes totally full.
Hilary tells me that nearly 60 masks have so far been supplied via the Telephone Box, thanks to the efforts of the sewing ladies Liz Balfe, Pat Bellis, Yvonne Emery, Ros Evans, Sue Locke, Lyn McLeish and Hilary herself. Donations for the local charity have been a little slow, but it all helps. After my plea in the last Newsbite Hilary even presented me with a tasteful green mask to remind me, as my friend Tom sings, of “The green green grass of home”.
Regards
Chris
