Hi,
How do we book for Santa's grotto on the 26th

Helen Meyrick on Hello!

1st November 2021 @ 3:32pm

I've recently moved back to Audlem after a 20 year absence and wanted to say hello. I'm thrilled to be back in the village (even though, as the archetypal, ungrateful teenager, I couldn't wait to move away) and I look forward to re-orientating myself and getting stuck back into village life. =)

Ta-ta for now!

We walk often along the canal and have spotted kingfishers many times in the last twenty years....and certainly much more frequently in the last 2 or 3 years. Usually between the village and Coxbank.

Could anyone recommend a company to remove a wasps nest from our house please?

Not a fan. However I must apologise to the well organised group who called last night. I was feeling really low and unwell and I should not have answered the door , as on rent collection days in my distant youth.
I hope I didn't spoil the outing with my churlish response.
Also hope you were all home before the weather turned.
Now what to do with the chocolate.

The picture of the two Kingfishers arrived on AOL bout 3-4 days after a Kingfisher was seen on my pond. The first for many years. Hopefully the Cox bank resident Kingfishers are breeding and thus extending their range down toward the village.

Thanks to those who have contacted me about Jimmy Pover, several people clearly remember him. Expect you would be moved on now if you tried to live on the moss, gather he was a mole catcher, drove animals to the markets and I expect followed other country pursuits.

Great story from Ralph this morning – almost up there with his riveting tale of his train journey to Wigan a couple of years back.

Someone showed me a nature picture of a bird he'd seen whilst on holiday on the beach in Ibiza. I asked him if I could have a copy for Audlem Online, but he refused saying it's not the sort of thing he thought you'd publish.

Re Celia Bloor Jimmy Pover, I spent many hours chatting and learning from Jimmy Pover in the early 1950s. He lived in an old wooden caravan on Long hill moss which at that time was the new council rubbish tip, having moved from Bunsly Bank, I believe he had a brother Sam.

Chris Tipper on Halloween

Hello,

Can I ask when people are planning on taking their children trick or treating this year? Are parents planning to take them on Saturday? Or Sunday?

Also, is it houses that are decorated and or a lit pumpkin that are taking part?

Thanks

Just a suggestion, to help with Celia's request to try to find someone who may have known the retired drover who settled in Hankelow, in the Welsh custom could he perhaps have been better known as Pover the Drover?

Celia Bloor on Welsh Drovers

I have just been told that a retired drover named Jimmy Pover lived in Hankelow. Does anyone remember talking to him or could ask one of the village's older residents if they knew him?

Stuart Conroy on Info on land owner

28th October 2021 @ 3:05pm

Hi
Not long moved into area (buerton) and we love it, I am a keen metal detectorist and have managed to gain permission from a few of the farmers around here to detect their fields but was wondering if anybody knows who owns the 3 big fields in Wood orchard lane with the big depression running through?
Any information or contact details would be appreciated

28th October 2021 @ 8:58am

I know the job isn't finished yet but the end is in sight and I would like to say how well this nigh on impossible task is being done. The organisation, minimal disruption and helpfulness of everyone involved is exceptional.
Look on the bright side, the lorries will be so much quieter going through the village and thank your lucky stars for being in a village in Cheshire and not Cornwall.

Thanks for your interest, Bob. Wyn Jones(our speaker) and Graham Dodd have also produced a booklet on this subject – "Drovers, their history and visits to Nantwich". Several copies were sold at our meeting and proceeds go to Nantwich Museum from where it can be purchased.

26th October 2021 @ 8:16pm

The History Society's report on the Welsh Drovers presentation, brought back to mind that there is a fascinating and most interesting book on the subject called 'On the Trail of the Welsh Drovers' by TWM Elias. This detailed book tells of the trials and tribulations of the Drovers which start with the tidal problems of leaving Anglesy in the first place (no bridge across the ripping tides of the Menai Strait in those days) and all the difficulties encountered on the 300 plus miles journey to London. The book tells how each trip is a major undertaking, not to mention also very dangerous because of the large sums of money also involved. A thoroughly good read.

Celia Bloor on Turnpike use during roadworks

26th October 2021 @ 5:05pm

My heart goes out to James, opening the gate so early only to find it closed again. I was glad of the chance to park there today so that I could walk to the chemists. Could have got round by the church today but tomorrow who knows?

Ann Tilling on Parking......general view

25th October 2021 @ 6:06pm

I must agree with Val about the reluctance of people to use any car park. It is a regular feature to find cars, usually cars, on the double yellows around the entrance to Kingbur Place making it difficult to gain access or egress. Particularly the latter as one has to pull out across the road, fairly unsighted. When I remonstrated with one driver who appeared to think that as he was still inthe car he wasn't parking and he would be gone in a short time so it didn't matter.
I can't really see a solution though.

Billy Gibbons on Turnpike use during roadworks

25th October 2021 @ 4:05pm

James; I'm sure it is....in fact..I hope it is but, the comment "I opened the hare" must certainly be what the young folk call a 'typo'. If it isn't, you may well have a new business venture there! But, I won't be investing so......I've got gout.....sorry....I'm out.

I thank you...I'm here all week....

Wes Lechley on Turnpike Field

25th October 2021 @ 2:11pm

I believe that all too often people who don't like the views of others either assertively or forcefully put resort to calling them "vitriolic", "caustic" or suchlike and now the poster of them "bullies". One dictionary defines "vitriolic" as "full of bitterness and hate" with synonyms of "venomous", "scathing" or "acid". I've read through all the comments on the Turnpike Field issue and whilst some comments are assertively put I don't see that any meet those criteria, even if I don't agree with them. I do wish people would stop using such words when the see entries they obviously disagree with.

James McGregor on Turnpike use during roadworks

25th October 2021 @ 2:09pm

Hi all

I have been down twice today and opened the hare once at 5am then again at 9am unfortunately it would seem someone keeps closing it as soon as I can I will get down and make sure it is opened and the gate can't be closed I can only apologise for this

Liz Pickerell on Turnpike use during roadworks

What happened to the promise of opening the turnpike field as a temporary car park during the week of roadworks?

The field is presently closed and I know of one village business suffering because of this closure.
