Fulstow Newsletter – June 2002

I love to rise in a summer morn

When the birds sing on every tree;

The distant huntsman winds his horn,                From The School-Boy

And the sky-lark sings with me:                              William Blake

O, what sweet company!

Can you all still be vigilant about locking doors, sheds & garages although things have quietened down no point in taking chances.

Forthcoming for June
