September 2015

I expected, or rather hoped, that I would be writ-

ing this short editorial in glorious sunshine, per-

haps whilst enjoying a nice cold glass of wine,

sat in the garden. Sadly, I am writing this and

thinking of excuses not to leave the house and

venture into the rain! I am hoping that the last

few weeks of summer will be better - but the

forecast does not seem to be meeting that

hope.

There is a bit of a theme this month - ‘Help your

village organisations’. Looking through this edi-

tion you will see that several village organisa-

tions are in need of new volunteers; Friends in

Deed, Buckden Gardeners Association, Buck-

den Surgery Patients Association and the or-

ganisers of the Christmas Lights switch-on and

festive market.

Speaking from personal experience I can confi-

dently state that getting involved in local organi-

sations and groups is very rewarding. Please do

consider helping these groups.

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:
