The happy couple – Millie and Charlie Hancock Congratulations to Millie, daughter of Mike and Jo Batten of Caswell Farm, and Charlie Hancock from Stour Row, on their marriage in Sherborne Abbey on Saturday 31 July.

After a year’s delay thanks to Covid, then the heatwave followed by rain almost every day of the week leading up to the wedding, they were lucky with a lovely dry afternoon. They had a wonderful reception back at Caswell Farm – the garden, the flowers and the marquees were all amazing. They live in London where Millie is a teacher and Charlie a lawyer, but I am sure we will see plenty of them back in Ryme at weekends.

On Sunday, the marquee was put to good use for a celebration lunch for the birthday of the Mother of the Bride, which also fell that weekend. A great time was had by all.

Welcome to Rob Young and Laura Wilson who have moved into No. 2 Lilac Cottages. They were both primary school teachers who now work with the Korn Project, providing therapeutical alternative provision to children who are out of the education scheme with the aim of returning them to the mainstream.

Rob is originally from Staffordshire, but recently they have been living in Portland and Salway Ash. Laura’s father was in the army, so she travelled the world, though her parents are now retired in West Coker. Rob is an avid gardener and enjoys sea fishing, Laura the more indoor pursuits of sewing and crafts. Both are keen walkers and hope to be able to do more travelling one day. Hope they will be very happy here in Ryme.

Hopefully by the time the next magazine comes out, we will be able to be arranging a Harvest Festival again.
