I now know a lot more about the Ashy mining bee than I did before breakfast. Lovely little chap and they don't sting if Mr Google is correct. One summer we had a Tawny Bee nest in the lawn at the top of our steps which was well walked every day with no trouble to either party. The fun bit was mowing the lawn which caused them a bit of consternation as the landscape had changed and required a returning bee to indulge in some low level manoeuvres looking for home until suddenly, a bee popped out of the grass and all was well again. A great addition to any garden and no threat to the children.
Given the appalling state of the local roads and lanes, I wanted to share a comprehensive guide to making a claim for damage. It was published by Money Saving Expert and may be of interest to readers:

Fortunately, I have not needed to use it yet but I regularly report any dangerous potholes etc. locally via. Fixmystreet.
Hello
A few weeks ago there was a post from a handyman just setting up his business.
Does anyone have his details please?
Many thanks
This coming week is a sad time for Salford and for Audlem residents of an older generation, as we face two funerals. Dr Michael, as he was always affectionately known by the many families that he attended upon, including our own, during his long and caring career in our community. He followed in his father, Gifford's footsteps, but was made in a different mould. He is sadly missed by all who knew him. It was Carl Jung who said,' Medicine cures diseases, but only doctors can cure patients' and that was certainly true of Dr Michael. He was also a tree planter and that was in the late nineteen seventies when it was not the fashion it is today. It was fitting, that he lived to enjoy the benefits of the two small woods he planted in the field behind his house. A man who plants trees looks to the future and leaves a gift for all to enjoy and Dr Michael certainly achieved that.
It is also very sad that this same week, Salford will be mourning the loss of David Holton who had only just moved into the old surgery on retirement from his hospital administration career less than two years ago, when he was tragically diagnosed with cancer. Out thoughts and prayers are with Penny, their sons and all the Thornton families.

The spirit of the late and much missed Bob Cartwright lives on with the continuance of these articles – a tradition he started several years ago.
The AOL authors and editors are to be commended as the quality is certainly up to the high standards set in previous years. I am sure Bob would have approved!
Just now Friday at 5.30 pm a largish, Alsatian type cross dog is running loose around School Lane, Stafford Street and Heathfield Road.
Looks stressed and lost. Ran after my dog and left us frightened and me upset.
Hope the owner is found soon!
Hi Geraint,
I recommend Anthony Jess.
He is based in Shavington but works a lot around Audlem.
He does a great job and is a top man.
His number is 07913 533 859

Paul Threadgold's mobile number is +44 7960 451573. He has done several jobs for us and is highly recommended.
Does anyone have any ideas of who to ask to get the railings rubbed down and repainted at the S&G Hall this summer please? Thank you in advance for suggestions!
Does anyone know where I can find next APC agenda? can't find them before Mondays meeting
Thanks for that recommendation, Lesley. Have arranged for them to provide an estimate.
Well done who ever wrote the articles published on 1st April. It's great to see the British sense of humour hasn't been diminished by current event. A great start to the week.
The mobile number for Paul Thredgold is 07960 451573.
Some time ago, in answer to a query on Chatbox, I recommended a good roofer by the name of Paul Threadgold (from Whitchurch – I think). Now I want to get in touch with him again but only have his land-line number which seems to be disconnected. Does anyone by any chance know his mobile no.?
Alternatively can any one recommend a good local roofer? My tel no. is 01270 812 158 or email geraintd6@gmail.com – Thanks.
Hi can anyone please recommend a local company that carries out services on oil tanks.
Hi John,
I've just had repair work done to bifolds by Drayton Plastics and Glass. The team that they sent was absolutely first rate and extremely reasonable. They're also lovely to deal with. 01630 653680.
Anyone have any recommendations for a gutter repair company locally?
I just need the front guttering replacing.
TIA.
