I hope that you enjoyed Christmas and Happy New Year to you. Thanks to all of you who participated in the Christmas window advent calendar and to Barbara Wallace for providing us with the photographs – see if you can spot yours below. Very sad news to begin 2022: Malcolm Pickard of School Lane passed away on Christmas Day, surrounded by his loving family and friends. We will really miss seeing him out on the playing field with Freya his dog and send our love to Martin and his family, and to the members of Chetnole’s ‘dog club’ who were so kind to him during his last few weeks. Malcolm was a friendly, gentle person with a brilliant sense of humour and you can read about his much-travelled life on p15. We also send our condolences to Jill Tricket whose husband, John, died in January; thinking of you Jill and sending lots of love. And condolences to husband Eric and daughter Catherine
of Anne Bugler, a longtime Chetnole resident; her obituary is on p14. Good news for all the local motoring residents (it may be old news to some) ... Bridge Garage in Leigh is still in business. Although Steve Addison has retired, vehicle repairs and service will continue to be carried out on the same premises by his former right-hand-man Matt Templeton, under the new business Matt Templeton Services. I am sure all in the Valley will wish Matt every success on his new venture.
