ROUNDHEAD OR CAVALIER, WHATEVER. Readers will be pleased to know that a licence
has been applied for to close the High Street on Royal-Wedding 29th April just
in case we want to have... ..
... ..a Street Party, of course. All that is urgently required is an Organising Party - and that could be lead by you, step forward all interested! No need at all for this to be composed entirely by Cavaliers, or indeed any Cavaliers at all, we'll all agree it's a very good opportunity to have a party. The last such that the editors remember (the Queen's Jubilee) was a great success and was in fancy dress, so you could come as a Roundhead anyway.
Something very sad now. Colin Crabtree was well-known to just about everybody in the village because he was the man who delivered the Bettaware catalogues. Most of us have bought Bettaware stuff from him from time to time- some of it is very useful!- and will have chatted to Colin on the doorstep. Come rain or shine, he was always to be seen out and about on his bicycle delivering his products, but we are very sad to report that he was killed in a freak accident on the Swaffham-Prior-Burwell stretch of the B1102 last week. He will be very much missed, and we just cannot believe we won't be seeing him anymore.
There'll be no more excuses for chickening out on our crossword now. In this month's magazine there is an infallible guide (quite clearly, I wrote it!) as to what to do - so now's your opportunity. And don't miss the Letters page - the start of another long-running debate perhaps? Happy Valentine's, All!
