Contact any of the Bugle Team or the Editor. her neighbours in Husbands Bosworth x POSTBAG From John Gauld, Cheshire Mum (Olive Gauld, formerly of Welford Road) continues to improve in Lenthall House, Market Harborough and although she walks with a frame and struggles sometimes to remember things, she’s generally as sharp as a razor. She has developed a little business, crocheting baby clothes and cot blankets, which the home sells and adds the proceeds to the community chest! Several of her friends from the village have been to see her and she is always keen to hear - and to tell us - what has been going on, when we make our regular visits. Perhaps, through the Bugle, you would be kind enough to pass on my thanks to all who have visited or sent cards. Editor’s Note: John also sent us some old postcard views of Bosworth, which he found recently. One shows Scrimshire’s shop in the thatch cottage on the High Street with a Player’s cigarette machine and a chewing gum machine on the wall and he wonders if anyone can remember the cobbled footpath on the south side of the street, with a smooth concrete strip up the middle. From former villager Alena Burton, Macclesfield Please find enclosed Bugle subscription and donation. You do a brilliant job - many thanks! I enjoy the Bugle enormously and always read it with great interest.
