COULD summer really be here? And could it be here to stay or will the weather turn cold and nasty again? We have certainly been enjoying idyllic days and wonderful evenings. The Walking Group recently did the Mailscot Wood Trail at Symonds Yat viewpoint and had a splendid time in the magical Forest of Dean.

This weekend the Christian Aid volunteers will be collecting the donation envelopes.

Tonight the Circle Dancing group meet in the Memorial Hall, 8pm-10pm. Please phone Richard on 01531 633583 for more details.

Tomorrow is the ‘Just Joyce’ afternoon of entertainment, “A Trifle Funny”, 3pm -5pm at the Memorial Hall. Tickets are £8 per person and this includes a delicious afternoon tea. Proceeds to Christ Church, the local village church. Book with Jayne or Kay on 01531 635277 an 632033 respectively.

The Herefordshire Wildlife Trust is holding an event tomorrow, 10am – 3pm, at Queenswood. No booking is required and entrance is free. The day will include guided walks and children’s play activities.

And a thought to end with: ‘Someone is sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.’ (Warren Buffett).

Enjoy your week!
