A letter from your Editor Hello That dratted virus seems to be affecting everything, but I reckon not to panic too much. What happened to the Stiff Upper Lip? We must keep an eye on folks who don’t do internet orders though and who may become so very isolated. At least we can phone! We do have good community spirit round here in our villages, so we will need to put it to the test. For those of us living alone, a grocery order of £40-£60 minimum is a lot of stuff, so perhaps we can join with another for a shared order...? Some wag in my newspaper has said that if we are obliged to self-isolate, we can do all that drawer sorting, loft clearing, papers sorting that we’ve been putting off for years! I reckon my house full of stuff will require a lot more than a fortnight! How has all that stuff collected? Where’s it all come from? I’m sure I ‘m not alone in this! When the fuss dies down, I reckon the Salvation Army, Women’s Refuge and all will be inundated with things... But Spring is here and the daffodils are out, and the birds are yelling their heads off at obscenely early hours in the morning now. Spring Equinox any day now! I’m pleased to say that my friend Erica is taking over the Green Page with what I might call Wizard Wheezes, but what nowadays are called Life Hacks! If you have any wheezes or hacks, send them to me. Save money while saving the planet! As you’ll see from the calendar of events at the back, there is a lot going on and a lot planned. If you have an event, please check you aren’t clashing with another one, then there’s more fun for all. Best wishes Jane
