Valentine’s Day has been and gone. After listening to a few older gentlemen at the gym saying it is a rip off and just for the youngsters, where has romance gone? Half term is over and we are now hurtling towards Easter – where does time go? I remember my parents saying that time goes quicker as you get older and thinking, Hah! ‘What do they know?’ Now I am the old person and they were quite right! The results of the Local Plan Referendum which took place on 22 February came after the deadline for this issue. However, David Torrance and Paul Hollick stayed for the count and have published the result on Facebook and the parish website. I would once again like to thank the team who have worked tirelessly for years to get this Plan to fruition. Ellis is doing a remarkable job in running the White Hart pub which is going from strength to strength. Allowing street vendors sell their food from outside the pub, with customers able to consume them on the premises if desired, has been an outstanding idea. Ellis has also teamed up with Bakerman Dan to 28
offer burger nights, and Sunday lunches cooked to order inside the pub. The ambience, drinks and the hospitality from the Landlord is most welcome. True to their word they are also supporting the local community by sponsoring the Yetminster Scout Troup for the design and build of two big upright planters for the suntrap rear patio. Keep up the good work. There is a dynamic church fund raising team who are well into the planning for 2022 events. The intent is to raise money for the repairs to the church clock and the church. The first event is the raffle; however, many other events are planned such as the antiques auction, tabletop sale, lamb roast and others. Watch this space.
