We hope you are all enjoying the recent heat waves! I’m old enough to remember the summer of 1976, when we seemed to manage the excessive heat and lack of rain. In fact I lived then in the North East of England, and it was a pleasant change from the normal chilly east wind and rain. These days we seem to find weather of all sorts much harder.

Thank you to all those who contribute to these pages. We have more from Mike Allan and from Doug Ryan, whose contributions we hope you find interesting and/or amusing. Thanks also to Jane Fowler for her report on the Village Afternoon Tea, and to all who made it a success.
