March 2016
Over the last couple of weeks the temperature
has started to drop and it is starting to feel more
like winter. There is something quite special
about walking on a clear, crisp and sunny day in
winter.
We have the third of our articles looking at peo-
ple and places that used to be in the village. For
relative newcomers like me it is fascinating to
read about these characters from the past life of
the village, and even better when there are fab-
ulous photos as well!
You may have seen articles in the media, and
comments on Facebook, regarding the pro-
posed development by Lucks Lane. Please see
more information in the Parish Council section
on page 4.
We are looking for people to help us deliver the
magazine. It only takes approximately 30
minutes a month. Please contact us using the
distribution email address just to the right of
this.
Please remember to visit the website. There are
often articles there that we could not fit into the
print edition, as well as information that arrives
during the month. The address is:

The cover photo this month is a view looking
into The Vine, our recently added Asset of
Community Value. It was provided by Mark
Bunting; as ever we are very grateful.
We are still looking for photos, images, draw-
ings and paintings to use on the front cover so
please keep sending them in.
