Is it Pinky or Perky?
We begin by sending our love and condolences to Ruth Sanford and all the family on losing her wonderful husband John in early June. He will be much missed, having been a very active longtime village resident, but mostly because he was such a lovely man and a friend to all of us. Ruth would like to write some words in the next issue about John’s life, but the Wriggle Valley Cricket Club have written their own special tribute to him this month and they will miss his huge presence in the club he adored. We’re all thinking of you Ruth. Condolences also go to Doreen Foy who lost two of her brothers in close succession recently – Doreen we send you our love. Get well soon to Denis Senior who has been very poorly in hospital, we hope you are feeling better, and get well soon to Jim Aldhouse too after his shoulder op – 12

we hope you’ll be strumming that guitar again shortly. We hope Lance David is now on the mend after his hip operation; from the way he was speeding past our window the other day, it certainly looks like it. Bee Grant-Peterkin’s art exhibition is still running so read on for details. She has raised a fantastic amount for Save the Children – well done Bee. Don’t forget to come along to the churchyard on 4 July to fling Teddy off the bell tower and snaffle a cream tea, and the 2021 Chetnole Flower Show is fast approaching on 7 August – have you made your jam yet? The Wednesday morning village hall coffee morning is also back in business, plus the post office from 9.30am to midday. Take lots of pics over the summer to send in and see you in September.
