October 2020 Editorial
Can
this really be the fourth Newsletter since the start of these strange and
difficult times? I hope you are keeping safe from Covid, but for those who
are unwell, we are thinking of you and hope you feel better soon. We also
send good wishes and welcome anyone new to the village or new Newsletter
readers.
This
October issue, is dedicated to the late Margaret Ludlow as the donations given
at her funeral have been given to the Newsletter. Thank you, Ken and Wendy,
for this kind thought.
Thank
you, as well, to Angela [Bartlett] in Singapore, for her whimsical
interpretation of the recent problems encountered at Woolacombe and for the
new-look recipe page.
It's
lovely to report a happy occasion and we send our congratulations and best
wishes to June and Gerry who celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary on the
17th September. Whilst the 45th anniversary is sapphire, this, the 65th is
blue sapphire. In 2017, the term sapphire jubilee or blue sapphire was coined
to mark the 65th anniversary of the succession of our Queen, Elizabeth II.
Good
wishes and thanks to Vicki Woodhouse who has been our Parish Clerk for the last
four years, and a warm welcome to Sue Petters, her replacement.
Once
again, I must thank everyone who has contributed in any way to this issue, No.
188. It is only with your help and support that the Newsletter continues.
That help, perhaps with help from new contributors, will be needed for the
December and Christmas [can you believe it!] issue! Items for this will be
welcome as soon as possible and by Wednesday, 11th November at the latest.
Thank you.
Finally,
don't forget to put your clock back an hour before you go to bed on the 24th
October, and remember that regulations are changing all the time and events
scheduled may well have altered.
The
community spirit in the village continues live and well and thanks are due to
all those who give their time, help and support to others. Stay well and keep
safe.
