If you are already a Twinning member or
have been in the past, and are still in
contact with a family in Cerences, now
would be a good time to make a phone
call or drop an email, in any mix of
language to them, they really would
appreciate it. Cérences has the same restrictions as we have here in Bere Regis

Best wishes to you all, stay safe, and we look forward to better days in the future.
