‘All for one and one for all’ – the Chetnole Inn gets a facelift from the painting fairies
We remember our wonderful former editor Bella Neate-Clegg even more so at this time of year and we send our love to Nick, Hebe and Monte. Good luck Nick with your future plans, it’s been an exceptionally difficult year for you. Welcome to Sarah and Paul Hodgkinson and their two dogs from Christchurch and we look forward to seeing you around the village.
Have you received your Flower show schedule yet? Get your creative juices flowing ready for 7 August! Was it just me or did anyone else feel a bit emotional stepping inside the village hall on polling day? All the kids’ birthday parties we’ve had there came whizzing back – it’ll be so good to have it open again for all of us. Our coffee mornings have restarted, which is wonderful. And it’s great to be back at the pub, which is looking very smart (thanks to some very special village residents). Let’s use our important local facility as much as possible to make up for all those boring nights in front of the telly – I won’t take any persuading. Reopening day on 1 May felt just like the good old days, with villagers and visitors flocking for a much-needed pint and chat. Even the inclement weather failed to deter most (Beaumonts, you went that extra mile with your gazebo) and it’s good to have Maria and the team back where they belong at last. Enjoy flaming June.
