What no market? We are targeting July for a return – even if it’s outside – but who knows?!

It is so nice to see that the church yard is still kept looking so tidy during this lockdown. I have been walking through there regularly and there is always someone doing part of the grass. This weekend it had a really good cut and it looks fantastic. So thank you to all you mowers it is greatly appreciated.
Sadly there is always another side to this. Dog owners still do not pick up their dog mess in the churchyard when there is a dog bin near the Lych Gate to put it in and it would be even better if they did not mess in the church yard. Someone even tied a poo bag on the foot rail at the back of the church. Can you believe it!
In the light of the current situation Oxfordshire Libraries have been making some big changes. (www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/libraries)
1) It is easier to join online.
2) The website has been redesigned to make it easier for you to find online services and to enable you to go exploring.
3) The collection of eBooks and eAudio to read or listen to online has been bulked up. (www. Oxfordshire.gov.uk/ebooks). Download bestselling eBooks and eAudio titles to your computer or portable device. A great choice of fiction and non-fiction titles for adults and children, all of which can be borrowed for free with your library card. There are no late fines and with a great choice of titles there is something for everyone. Borrow up to ten titles from both OverDrive and BorrowBox for up to three weeks.
This delightful stone, painted beautifully with the rainbow, has been thoughtfully put on the pillar box a few days ago. A nice gesture to our postman and all post users.
The shop will now be opening weekdays 8.00 am to 5.00 pm and Sundays 9.00 am to 1.00 pm. There are rumours circulating about the possible closure or change of hands at our brilliant village shop. We understand that these are untrue, and that Deepa and Dave will be continuing their excellent service. Good news!
