English apricots

That was the apricot summer that was!

October 2018
Everyone over the age of 50 can remember the Summer of 76. To that we can now add the Summer of 2018. Not quite the same ring but hot it was! It would be nice to think we’ll get more of the same but I doubt it.  Our summers are notoriously unreliable and while I’d like to be proved wrong, I predict we’ll be back to the usual mixture of sunshine and showers for the next 40 years!

BT Infinity box at Fletcher Way

Residents rise up against poor broadband speeds

October 2018
The BT Infinity box is only just down the road but some residents are reporting that their so-called high speed broadband is running at only a snail’s pace. Speeds of only 1 or 2 megabits per second are being reported in parts of the village. Residents plan to raise the subject at the next agm in March.
