Lonely Hearts Column: Demure brown lady Peahen desperately sought by courtly,
gentleman Peacock. Dining out and conversation a speciality. Yes, it's
Clarence, of course! (oh alright, what do you call him?) - the bird-abouttown
who appeared from nowhere on Tuesday last. Clarence, who always tries to look
skinny and forlorn when attempting to join Priorites for breakfast, is actually
a rather sleek, if not to say, somewhat portly bird with a very flashy tale,
and whose dulcet tones would shame the foghorn on an ocean-liner. Who needs a
chiming clock with Clarence around! But his snap does not do him justice,
because, of course, it was not taken by the official and clearly quite
brilliant...
Crier Photographer! See the Village Feast through his eyes, especially noting, perhaps, the sharp contrast between the graceful Maypole circumnavigations of Mrs Barbara Doe and the bumbling activities of a certain person in the background - who could that be? Welcome Frank Readhead to the Crier team - this magazine won't ever be the same again!
Welcome also to our new ECDC councillor Allen Alderson and congratulations to him on last month's byelection victory. We hope he'll represent us well.
But who is the mysterious paper-pilferer of Greenhead Road? We don't want a confession, but we do think he should buy his own newspaper, rather than pinching other people's out of their letter boxes! Meanwhile, we'll take this opportunity to remind you that there's a great number of unmissable Prior events this June: Chris Pemberton's Art Exhibition - a big event, very popular in the village when last held, and with people attending from all over the country, Jazz on a Summer's Evening, the School Fair, the WI Trip, Sing for the Windmill, the Great Parachute Jump and many, many more. See you there!
