31 January 2021 - Better news
Hello,
Some nice news. Ray Aggett has produced another book case for the Village Library and Information Centre aka the Telephone Box. Ray is the go-to man when items are needed around the village – you can see his efforts almost everywhere - and once again he has come up trumps. Thank you very much Ray, your efforts are greatly appreciated.
Whilst on the subject of the VLaIC, on Portland one of their Telephone Boxes is used, amongst other things, as a seed swap centre. This seemed like a very good idea, so Chairperson Hilary says that she will instal a tin in ours, probably labelled SEEDS. If you have any that might be of use to others then drop by the Box and put them in the tin. Might be an idea to label them, because to a very amateur gardener like me all seeds look the same. I wouldn’t want to plant some, expecting runner beans only to find out that a horse chestnut tree emerges.
A lot of the people I speak to – at a socially acceptable distance of course – are telling me that they have now had their (first) vaccination. This is good news indeed, and shows that they are rolling out well in this area. That first jab is effective in about three weeks, and maximum immunity only kicks in after the second jab. So if you have had one, don’t drop your guard but
Stay safe, Strong and Smiling
Best regards
Chris
