DKHomeImprove_Ad02:Layout 1 W ith February here, the worst of the Winter weather should be behind us, and we can now look forward Spring. What ever that means to you it seems a good time to start making plans. Aim to get fit, dig-over the veg patch ready for new season, dust off the bike and plan some outings or maybe decorates the house. All around the area are footpaths and tracks that give us the benefit of being able to access the countryside within five minutes of leaving our houses. Riding a bicycle here is easy as there are routes for all ages within easy reach. Country walks like the Hicca Way and Kingfisher Way touch our boundaries and give us access to miles of countryside. This month we start Part One of a new feature on Three Counties Hospital, this will probably be a five part feature. So if you have any stories or images from the days when it was open as a Hospital we would love to hear from you. See page 8. The whole country will be gearing up for the General Election on May 7th see page 11. As I write this I have mixed thoughts. There are lots of positive things going on around me and this year is proving to be eventful already – and its only just the end of January. There is also sadness as a longstanding friend, Gail Allen, recently lost her battle with Bowel Cancer. A very positive lady with a caring nature. She was a shining light in the community committing time to several different groups, and later actively spreading the word about Bowel Cancer, while being treated for it herself. I will remember her fondly for her role, beside me as the Scarecrow in Wizard of Oz the panto. Goodbye Gail our thoughts are with your family. God bless.
