Our Audlem Online leaflet is usually deposited in our letterbox at our house, so I was disappointed to find the said leaflet dumped at the end of our drive in Bagley Lane, Kinsey Heath this morning which is 300yds from the house. It was badly damaged by (presumably) a rodent of some sort.
I love reading AO and perhaps the person who delivered could think next time to do it properly?
Thankyou

Princes TV asked in Prees near Whitchurch will check TV signal and rectify, fixing new aerial only if necessary.

Could anyone recommend a quality joiner. I need some new locks putting on my oak doors. Thanks

Can anyone recommended a tv aerial company as I have lost connections to all of my televisions. Many thanks!

Hi Susan
Thanks for your kind words
As an update we did step on the wire as suggested but our dog went under the electric fence and got a shock on her back

We took her for a walk yesterday along the canal towards Adderley but as soon as we got to the stile where we would normally go across the stile and along the river
But she remembered what had happened
She was shaking and foaming at the mouth
She again bolted and broke her lead
Luckily for us some kind people stopped her from going onto the road

Now then i saw a yellow ford pop in Audlem last night. The place where i was born and Bread. Now then who was driving it. Was it you Billy Gibbons. Oh no it wasn't. It was me. Or was it you Billy dressed like me or me dressed like you or even a imposter Professor Atom. The plot thickens. Anyway just to let folk no i left Audlem in my Rocket at 1900Hrs �"�"�"😂

Dear Karen, really sorry to hear about your dog getting shocked in what sounds like a near miss accident that could have been nasty. I sympathise because electric fencing can sometimes be difficult to spot especially for those with visual impairments. Surely the landowner concerned wouldn't mind just putting a short section on the public right of way for walkers to unclip and pass safely? I see lots of these on paths around Cheshire on my walks with my daughter and they seem to work well. A shock powerful enough to deter a mature cow could be quite nasty for an elderly person, child or a dog.

Ref the missing cattle, they have now been located after 24hrs on the run. Getting them home is another task. Many thanks.

We are farmers at Tittenley, Near Shavington Park, between Adderley and Market Drayton. On Thursday night, 27th May, we took delivery of 18 beef cattle. When turning them out into their field, some promptly ran through the fence and disappeared into the neighbourhood. There are 6 cattle still missing. They are approx 12mths old and of beef type, being of various colours. Any info as to their whereabouts, please ring Stuart or Joy Hargreaves on 01948890313, 07974268239 or 07817796832. Many thanks.

Hi just noticed two stray dogs roaming the maze fields on the edge of Buerton village going towards longhill lane , black lab and a greyhound , looks like been out for a while check your gardens to see if yours are missing

To Norman Huntbach, In you article 'Dog Walks' can you please advise to whom you are referring to when you write ' people get tired of pandering to people' Are you referring to the land owners being tired of legitimate walkers?
Recently I found my path (footpath) blocked by newly installed plastic wired fence. and I am unable to stand on a section. What do you suggest that I should do?

Disappointed at the cessation of the covid details link just when Cheshire East recorded 39 new cases, a 66% increase. I have been checking it every day but appreciate it may be a chore for the web team. Does anyone know where these new cases are? Is Handforth in Cheshire East? I know there is a spike there but unable to find the details.

Just letting anyone know who might have been or will be mistaken or, is even remotely interested; I don't own a yellow Ford Popular motor car.
I do have a sort of connection with it though it as it's owned by my cousin who some say looks a bit like me. We all have a cross to bear and that's his! I'm not on about the car...I'm on about him apparently looking a bit like me. The poor thing. It must be difficult living with an affliction like that. Even I don't want me to look like me!!!!!
Anyway, it's not my car and he's not me.
;-)

Have looked in the directories but who to choose?
Would welcome recommendations from this fabulous community :-)

Latest update and possibly the final one as I have not too much hope of further success. A kind person advised me of the whereabouts of my left hand but unfortunately no such success with the right hand or the dragon.

I was interested in Adrian's notes on rain and ducks. We kept a collection of all the common native ducks on our pond from 1985 until recently. My observations during those years that some species enjoy the rain others do not. Pintails will be seen digging into the ground as it softens with the rain. Shelduck seem to take to the water rather than resting on the island or the ponds surrounds. Tufted and Northern Pochard both diving species are very active in rain. Those species which skulk away into shelter include Wigeon,Teal, Garganey and Gadwall. As for Shovellers they seem to be variable in their response to rain. Mallard although the commonest British species were not welcome on the pond and the others tended to gang up on them. Not welcome because they are symptomless carriers of disease to which they are resistant to but infect other species

Thank you AOL for posting my article. Just to say; the pictures I sent weren't at when the water was at it's highest. It got a lot higher but at that time I was trying to rescue my cars, motoring memoribilia and other items (with the help of my fantastic neighbours) from being washed down stream and into the River Weaver which some of the smaller items have no doubt ended up in . The frustrating thing is, the authorities flatly refuse to help or do anything about this. And so the saga continues............;-(

Just to say the right foot has been retrieved but am still missing my spare pair of hands. The dragon still missing possibly nearing Nantwich by now if not run aground somewhere.

I'm from a local cat rescue and have been out to Audlem to collect a stray cat. I have a photo and would like to post asking does anyone recognise this cat. It has no microchip.

Should anybody spot a white miserable looking dragon that's run aground or actually still in the brook, please contact me on 07961000466. It got swept away in the floods on Monday along with a pair of hands and a right foot washed from their eternal resting place in the gravel of my garden. The dragon had only recently been placed to guard the path to 'Chuckyland'. I believe it may have been at the stage of 'point of lay', should the egg hatch successfully the finder is welcome to have the new offspring. It can easily be recognised as it is missing part of it's tail bitten off by a crocodile many years ago. It is a dragon of pure Welsh origin and of the none smoking variety so it's offspring will be perfectly safe to keep outside or indoors.

Thank you to 1st Audlem Guides for the chocolates and picture to colour, it's very kind and considerate of you all.

Well done to Audlem FC for winning the match with such a high score, brilliant!

Thanks Sue and Michael for your suggestions.
Regards, Steve

Hi Kevin, thanks for these details; Nick did call round this morning and I also had a visit yesterday from the Rural Policing unit. Let's see if the 101 service is reviewed so that it works.
Thanks for your help and also Chris Thornton too. That means a lot.
Nigel.
