A special Chetnole welcome goes to Judy Malone who moved from Cambridge to Treetops in Neals Lane before Christmas. She’s settling in well and enjoying redecorating whilst we all wait for our freedom again. Judy’s sister is Josie Mitchell who lives in Mill Lane with her husband Jim, so it’s lovely for them to be so close. Judy, we wish you many years of happiness in your new home and look forward to seeing you in the village come freedom day! We also welcome Jim and Clare Walder and their children, Jacob and Lucas, who moved from Milborne Port into Bridge House, Neals Lane in the rainiest week in history so lots of best wishes to the Walders! The next Chetnole and Stockwood Parish Council meeting is on Wednesday 10 March at 7.30pm. Instructions for joining the Zoom meeting can be obtained by emailing parish clerk Sue Woodford at clerk@chetnoleandstockwood-pc.gov.uk Referring people to Sherborne Foodbank is a part of my job that has become increasingly common as the pandemic continues to affect livelihoods. 10
It’s an unfortunate but absolute necessity to have such a safety net at this time so if you can spare some items to drop into St Peter’s church, they will be greatly appreciated (see news from St Peter’s). Tins of fruit and everyday vegetables (not pulses), instant mash, and toothpaste are examples of what’s needed or you can check their website here: https:// www.sherbornefoodbank.org/what-weneed/ for more details. They also have a Facebook page. It’s difficult to believe (or is it?) that we have been dominated by Covid-19 for a whole year now. Looking back at last year’s issue for March, I can see local events postponed left, right and centre. But this year comes hope with the vaccine and we’re all going to have to sit it out a little longer until we’re eventually allowed some degree of freedom. The roll out of the vaccine has so far been a great success and I look forward to receiving mine. Have a great March and don’t forget the clocks go forward on Saturday 28 March. Liz Tebbatt
