Hello Everyone,
Some of you may remember us from ‘An Audience with ‘Buntie and Daffers” which was an event held in Ridlington Village Hall on Friday, September 7th 2019 to support the Leicestershire & Rutland Air Ambulance service.
We have ended 2020 with a book – ” Two Mad Bags” – A series of short stories about life in an Ambulance by Buntie & Daffers – it is all about what we get up to.
It is available for purchase on Amazon and in Waterstones’ Bookstores.
So while you are locked down and there is nothing else to do, make yourself a cup of tea and have a read.
We hope you enjoy it.
Kindest Regards,
Buntie and Daffers
Thank you to everyone who donated prizes for our Christmas Hamper Raffle: we are truly grateful for your generosity and support. A special thank you to Janet Horwood, who made the beautiful wreath to adorn the lucky winner’s door. You will be pleased to hear that this event raised a much needed £325 for the church.
Winners were: Ruth Lees; Liz Simpson; Debra Thatcher; Mandy Hill; Jo Fairley (wreath)
We look forward to running both carols and raffle again in December 2021!
Thank you, keep safe and best wishes,
Louise Fox, Anne Harvey and Margie Wall on behalf of the PCC.
Following discussions between the Ministry Team and Editors of the Parish Magazine, the magazine will now be going online again for a couple of months. By mid-March we hope to see COVID-19 cases in retreat and many more people vaccinated, enabling a return to print.
You will be able to find the online magazine via the
https://www.rutlandwaterbenefice.info/magazine/
The downside is, of course, that far fewer people will see the magazine. So please do pass this message on and encourage all those you are in contact with to access it.
Thanks to Angela and Alice for dealing with the practicalities of making this change. And best wishes to all normally involved in distribution who are so important for enabling the magazine to reach every household in normal times.
Thank you and keep safe!
