December 2019 Editorial
Here
we are - December again! As I write this, the weather has been very wet and
unpleasant for what seems like weeks, and our thoughts must go to the poor
folks in the north whose homes and businesses have been flooded by rivers
breaking their banks.
Christmas
is not far away and now that frantic time trying to get ready - cakes, cards,
puddings, presents!
Thank
you to the message senders in this issue, whose generous donations will be most
welcome by both the Manor Hall and the Newsletter. [These messages are not
shown on this website.] Thank you, as well, to Debbie for another delightful
cover and for the border enhancing the messages. Debbie's continued support
is very much appreciated, as is the support of all the regular contributors.
Congratulations
are in order! To the Berry in Bloom team for achieving another Gold; to Alex
for gaining another 'O' Level - 90 years young; to Ilfracombe reader Jeanette
and her husband Norman on receiving a card from the Queen for their Diamond
Wedding and Mick and Marg celebrating their Golden Wedding.
As
always, we send get well wishes to all those not feeling at their best, and a
warm welcome and good wishes for happiness in your new homes to all newcomers
to our village.
There
are a lot of festive events planned in the next weeks, so make a note of them
and enjoy! February
will be the first issue in 2020 and items are welcome as soon as possible and
at the latest by the 8th January. Thank you.
I
send my best wishes to you all and your families for a happy Christmas and a
happy, healthy and peaceful New Year.
Ed.
