The residents of Hermitage would like to thank Keith Warren-Price for all his hard work on the multitude of village news, messages, articles and photographs that have been published here in the WVM. Great job Keith! I have now taken over the role of Hermitage rep for the magazine, so please let me have your news – tom@ beelsandco.com Tom Beels
Macmillan coffee morning Regretfully it was not possible to hold a coffee morning to raise money for charity during the Summer, but Hermitage Village Hall sent a cheque for £250 to Macmillan Cancer Support. Jan Pescott
Hedgehog alert! There have been lots of hedgehog sightings in Hermitage recently, which is excellent. It is important for their wellbeing that we play our part in helping them to thrive. Here are some tips that may interest nature lovers. • Leave areas of the garden ‘wild’, with piles of leaf litter and logs. These are an attractive nest as well as a home for the invertebrates (slugs, beetles) that hedgehogs like to eat. • Try to leave gaps in your boundary fencing if you can, they can travel a long way! • Making an artificial home can be as simple as placing a piece of board against a wall. 21
