A LETTER FROM YOUR ASSOCIATE PRIEST 22nd Communibus - Seaton

27th PiP - Macmillan Coffee morning, Lower Hall 10.00-12.00
Dear friends
I have been so impressed at the way the communities of Bere Regis, Affpuddle
and Briantspuddle with Turnerspuddle have responded to the Covid-19
pandemic, looking out for others, sharing and caring via the schemes set up, the October
rainbows, teddies, the clapping that has definitely got louder on a Thursday
evening, our wonderful village shops run with such care for staff or volunteers and 6th Communibus - Bridport
customers, the surgery and pharmacy, I could go on – thank you all of you,
As I write this in the middle of April, none of us really have any idea what will have 13th FG: Denise Jones: Floral Dreams
happened two weeks hence when this magazine is hopefully delivered to your
door. I imagine we will still be in lockdown and I imagine that we all cope with the 14th AL: Alex Betts, guitar entertainment
situation in different ways. Did you get on and do all those jobs that needed
doing at home in the first couple of weeks and are only now learning a slower 15th Salt and Pepper Club
pace of life or are you more like me, hoping you don’t run out of time to get
round to doing all the jobs that need doing? 20th Hillier Gardens, Romsey
