Congratulations to Tim and Pauline Roberts who celebrated their Golden Wedding on 12 June.

Pauline, born and bred in Yeovil, was working as a tailoress when a tailor colleague asked her to help him out with trousers for a wedding suit he was making; she called round but he was out. However, Tim the lodger was in and they got talking. Tim was working at Marglass but was new to the area and didn’t know many people, so Pauline asked if he would like to join her at the rifle shooting range. The rest was history, as they say. They were married at St. Marks, Yeovil, on 12 June 1971 and started married life in a caravan in Tim’s father’s field in Baltonsborough. They moved to Ryme in 1977 with two daughters, Vicki and Rebecca, and now have six grandchildren.

After Marglass, Tim worked at Westlands for 26 years. Pauline worked for 35 years in Care in the Community, but kept up her sewing skills, making many beautifully embroidered costumes for the Yetminster Irish Dancers and wedding dresses and outfits. She fitted in childcare for several families in the village as well.

Hope they have a lovely summer doing staycations in their campervan, with Misha the dog.

We had a great turnout of 25 for the churchyard tidy up, and it was lovely to see so many new residents come. It is amazing what can be achieved in a couple of hours - the whole churchyard looked wonderful afterwards. Many thanks to you all from Mike and me (church wardens), and extra thanks to Sue Goldsworthy for the date slices and other delicious things. Thank you too to the Templeman family who, a few days before, had cut the grass and trimmed the yew bushes.

What else has happened, has anyone heard the Cuckoo?
