MERRY CHRISTMAS: A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all who are reading this. I hope you have kept up to date on events in our beautiful village over this past year, have been able to go along and support some of them. Thank you to all the volunteers who make our village come alive, the latest one being the community cinema. It is a wonderful time of year to remember the good times that we have shared with family and friends and hopefully look forward to many more to come. Personally, I will be looking forward to meeting someone new, another grandchild arriving in 2019. Best wishes for a Christmas filled with love and wonder, whatever age you may be!

USED POSTAGE STAMPS: What do you do with the stamps that come with your mail both at home and work especially at this time of year? You could put them to good use and help DELTA. All you need to do is collect your stamps and post them to stampsforcharity.net at the address below. They are then able to raise £6.00 per kilo of stamps. The stamps must be totally unsorted, just as received through the mail. The stamps will need to be on single paper (just the front part of the envelope), and with approximately ¼” of paper around each one. You don’t have to wait until you have collected a kilo, just send them whenever you want but please ensure your package has the correct postage on it. Please pass this information on to family and friends. Could you set up a stamp collection at work? The more stamps the more money goes to DELTA. Please send your stamps to:-Deaf Education through Listening and Talking (DELTA), USED STAMP APPEAL, Fords Farm, HORSEY, Norfolk,NR29 4EP. Thank you .
