I know there are lots of views BUT We have all been told, that we MUST wear masks in every shop, including our local ones, and also, even outside anywhere, when we cannot maintain a safe distance of at least two metres from others. This instruction is about protecting others from each of us, as so many carriers of COVID, of all ages, are genuinely unaware that they are carrying the virus but are still able to spread it to others. This is so different from old fashioned flu or a heavy cold because we know we have either of those very quickly, so we spread it much less before taking to our bed. Some people are against wearing a mask for a variety of reasons. None of us like wearing them, but for some, such as those with severe asthma or other breathing issues, they are a real problem. Please be kind to those not wearing them, as we don’t know what problems they may have. However, if it is just by choice that someone will not wear a mask, which is their right outside (as I write this) in the fresh air and where they maintain at least two metres from others not from their household, it is also the right of the rest of us to stay safe from them. Although recent good news is that wearing a mask apparently also does offer some limited protection from those about us who cannot, or will not, wear theirs, it is not as safe as if all of us that can wear them, do so. Every time. We might be life-savers. Please, continue to stay safe, but also help keep others safe by wearing your mask. Good News Corner Young people of all ages returned to school, college and university. Rev’d Will held the first service (I believe but I may be wrong!) from Terling Ford. What a lovely service on a warm summer day! The Owl’s Hill Tea Room, The Square & Compasses, The Rayleigh Arms all increased their opening. Check their websites for their latest details of opening and reservations details. Ruby’s greengrocery (and more) now hopes to become a permanent feature in Faulkbourne. The restaurant re-opened at the Cross Keys White Notley.

In October, we're with the notion that the British are sometimes presented with a delightful called a nation of 'animal lovers', and for a great occasion to celebrate animal number of people this is no doubt true. life from around the world in all of it's varied forms with the 4th Just a little research into some of the most recent of the month being St Francis' figures suggests that as a nation we own feast day.

Quite a number by any standards, and this is happening to actually fall on a aside from rabbits, rodents, fish, and other more Sunday, and so we have an exotic pets which people might have. I dare say that extra special opportunity to many people have also found the company of celebrate this saint's life, and animals invaluable to them in perhaps new ways think about the example which he still leaves us with during the past recent months of lock-down too. today. Plus, lots of churches offer thanksgiving for Additionally the British Isles boasts an extraordinary the Harvest during October too, providing us with array of wildlife, being made up of indigenous even more reason to think about and celebrate the species as well as some which were introduced to natural world. our country by people in years gone by. October can also be a time of year when we really Animals, including our own British wildlife provide feel a change in the weather. For many people the interest and diversity to our natural world as well as central heating has now gone back on after being nurturing the eco-system; and pets provide people switched off during the summer months, and when of all ages with companionship and love. But how the clocks have gone back the nights really start to often do we take all of this for granted? Like so draw in. But before we start to feel too despondent many other aspects of our lives we can get used to about all this, let's remember that it's also a great having wonderful things around us when we share time of year to curl up indoors on the sofa watching time with them every day.
