Hermitage Community Group was set up during the first lockdown in 2020 to help those residents of Hermitage and Hilfield who are over 70, or vulnerable or shielding, by doing grocery shopping and prescription collections.
This group continues to offer assistance and if you need something, please contact George Grazebrook on 01963 210253 and he will make arrangements with one of Sara Beels’ group of volunteers.
The church is still open on Sundays and Wednesdays but all services in the benefice are suspended until further notice, due to the current lockdown. The village hall is also currently closed.
Christmas Spirit!
Two of the youngest residents of Hermitage put in a of preparation and legwork to deliver little boxes of Christmas goodies around the village. The village WhatsApp group was used to invite people to nominate a person or household who they felt would appreciate and enjoy a bit of cheer, delivered in a Covid-safe way on the festive cart, complete with decorations, lights and music! Well done Penny and Rosie!
If you live in Hermitage and managed to capture some good photos of bird life during December and January, please send them to Tom so that the best can be shared in the March issue of WVM.

Walk on the wild side
Wild boar have been spotted again in the fields around Hermitage.
If you are out walking and spot them, give them a wide berth, particularly if you are walking with a dog.
