Following the death of BRIAN BIGNELL, Carol, Angela and Kaye would like to thank all their friends and neighbours for their kind donations of £340 for the Macmillan nurses, also for all the support shown during their recent bereavement. Special thanks to Gerald and Grace, Stan and Joyce, and Pamela.

All good wishes to DR JEAN McLELLAN following her retirement from The Nap Surgery. She and her husband have bought a farmhouse and a couple of acres of land in Mid Wales where she will find plenty to keep her busy. Jean will be missed by very many people and by the many organisations with which she was involved, all of whom would like to thank her for her care and kindness.

Those people who managed to see the part of Tales From The Country, on ITV recently must have been amazed to hear that Chipperfield is “five minutes from Heathrow”! However things improved considerably when CHRIS SAUNDERS, JOHN SAUNDERS, ELAINE BRITTON, ALEX TAPNER, SONYA WESTLEY, VASS PANAYI, FRANCIS RATCLIFFE and LESLEY WEST told the reporter what it is like living in such a special village as Chipperfield.

It was good to read the write-up about Garden Scene in the April issue of Limited Edition. Congratulations to PHIL KING and all his staff. They are always most helpful and knowledgeable.

Welcome to the village to OLLIE and NIKKI LINCOLN and daughter NATALIE who have recently moved into 4 Flint Cottages on The Common.

People who remember LOTTIE HAWKINS (mother of David who used to run the family shop now Chipperfield Larder) will be sorry to hear of her death at the age of 96.

SYLVIA OLIVER wishes to thank her family, friends and neighbours for their help and kindness during her recent illness and hospital spells.
