Some sad person has vandalised some of our Xmas lights. There are some pathetic persons about . We have our suspects.

Very many thanks to the band for their contribution to the festive mood in playing for us in Audlem centre this morning. I know it's a good thing to support charities generously in these difficult times, but there was something heartwarming too in their statement that, on this occasion, they were not collecting money but just doing it "because it was a nice thing to do".

Ellisons Plumbing & Heating 07918912021 – Peter Ellison has been very good. Reliable, keeps to his appointments and no heating or plumbing job too small.

Alison – it's so wonderful to hear from you. Alison and I have been thinking of you and Christopher ever since we left you the other day. I'm so glad that all is well. What a relief. Have a marvellous Christmas. xx

Thank you to the Brass Band for their contribution to the start of our Christmas!

I would just like to say a very big thank you to Sonia & Alison for helping me out on Bickerton Hill on Tuesday afternoon. My husband had fainted and needed a check up at the hospital, they stayed with us and directed the ambulance service to our location on top of the hill.
He is fully recovered now with no lasting effects.
Please pass on my thanks to the children and the dogs, they were extremely patient. I only know that they are from the Audlem area so if anyone does know them please can you let them know
Once again many thanks.
Alison

Bruce Heath at B H Plumbing and Heating, Marlet Drayton. Highly recommended!

May I congratulate you on your new website. The presentation of it is much better and it is so much easier to navigate through it.
Love it!

Can anyone recommend a good service engineer/company to service an oil boiler?

Thanks for the interesting article. I have just finished reading 'Hurricane Combat' by Wing Commander K.W. Mackenzie DFC,AFC,AE. A Battle of Britain veteran, he did a lot of his flying in the South West, and his squadron (501) was based at Filton from December 1940 to April 1941. He mentions the balloons around the factories, and the 'funnels' kept clear of them, so that aircraft could take off and land.

Occasionally, they even provided some 'local' firing practice for our own aircraft, 306 Squadron at Tern Hill for example, despatching two Hurricanes to shoot down some which had come adrift from the Crewe barrage on 21st January 1941.

Hi does anyone know of a man/woman. Msybe a really intelligent dog that could service my multifuel stove. I've re roped it but its still burning too high. Thank you in advance

Hi

Yes this old topic again.
When visiting relatives in Kingbur place on arrival I was pleased to see the junction clear..... that despite a build up of traffic

My luck clearly ran out as I left.

On approaching the main road the way was clear. At the last moment a lady (V70 volvo estate I think) chose to park on the double yellows directly in front of my line of view.

It was approx 1.40 pm 21 December 2020.

This lady cut across my line of view , fully knowing her vehicle was obscuring my line of view. It was thus a dangerous manoever; both for my self and the van waiting behind me to get out.

Please folks, driving incorporates road craft which is "reading the road".

(I did ask the lady to move but she refused).

Please lady, you know who you are, no one wants a confrontation . You just have to observe the highway code in your driving.

There's no need to add to your stress levels by venturing into busy shopping centres for last minute gifts and stocking fillers. Our village shops are well stocked with attractive and unusual gifts. I ventured down to Audlem Mill Canal shop this morning for stocking fillers for my Grandchildren, and they have an amazing range of items. So I hope you all keep well, stay safe, shop local, Merry Christmas

Firstly I would like to say well done with the new look, it looks great.
Love Steph's article on lady reindeer and Xmas wishes, really made me laugh which is definitely needed with the current situation we find ourselves in after the latest announcement from the government yesterday, I also noticed the latest article today from Cheshire East about information on Xmas but I think it needs to be updated ASAP as this is likely to course a lot of confusion as we now only have 1 day 25th to get together with family not the 5 days as it was when the article was wrote yesterday morning.
I'm not trying to upset anyone as you all do a fantastic job with the website, it's just such an important subject that needs clarity ASAP as the government are making near impossible for people to keep up with we're we all stand.

One pair of ladies M and S brown leather gloves found today at 9.30am at the cemetery. Very wet so they are drying out at my house. Please get in touch if they are yours and I will arrange a collection point. Many thanks.

Rotary Calendar
The Rotary Club of Crewe and Nantwich Weaver organised a photographic competition "Living in Lockdown" inviting the public to submit photographs. We had an excellent response of more than 60 which were judged by Nicola Cooper a professional photographer. We have now produced a calendar with the cost covered by sponsorship, which we are giving 500 free to local charities to support those charities.
We have given Audlem Charity Shop 20 with a suggested selling price of £5. Good value and a good cause.
Rotary is always looking for new members. If you would like more information about Rotary contact either;

Hello, does anyone know of a local solicitor or similar who would be able to deal with issues I am having with builders who built my house (3 years ago – New Build)

Thank you
Kind Regards

Dear Editor
Just to let you know I have been in touch with Cheshire East Highways Department to ensure they are aware of the impact of the Village with road closures for works on the A530, A529 and now Coole Lane.

I am assured that the emergency works at the junction of Coole Lane will be completed by lunchtime, so hopefully it will be open before Friday afternoon traffic joins the queues.

Went on the A51 through Woore yesterday all clear.

Santas route and timetable was published twice before old Website came down. So I say well done the team for good timing and a good Website.

Is the A51 still closed between Woore and Bridgemere too?
