Editorial
The Easter edition, and readers can look forward to an action-packed Crier, although our International Edition might have to be a trimmed down: 40 pages incurs a stonking postage-cost hike and we're not paying that!
This month saw the village breath a collective sigh of relief, not to mention break out into wild celebrations (did some people spend all weekend in the Pub?) as, in the wake of the Lorraine and Dave's shock departure from the Red Lion for pastures new, it rapidly became clear that it will indeed be "business as usual" at the Lion. Read all about new managers Michelle and Dave in this month's issue: they are doing a fine job.
April sees the Crier become truly international, as our new Wa shington Correspondent Barb Mitchell contributes her first Letter from America, and also trouble brewing on our international borders: readers will note that Bulbeck are beginning to wonder about Prior's expansionist foreign policy - contact the Beacon (swaffham.bulbeck@virgin.net) to put them right.
In a "senior moment" this month, I could not remember what year it was, so consulted last month's Crier: the editorial was dated 2005, Church Services 2006 and the cover 2007., good guesses all of them, but which to choose? Many apologies for the unintentional omission of the annual Easter Lilies in that edition; get in touch with Ruth Scovill quickly to participate.
Finally, don't forget to sponsor brave Bundle and a word for RED2GREENHOUSE (see their ad), purveyors of the most excellent pickled onions ever in the Eds' opinion (spices are augmented with dried chillis, coriander and so forth). They operate from BVC, so you can order via urchin. Happy Easter All!
