From the Editor of the Newsletter – September 2026
Well, my goodness this is a huge issue, stuffed full of exciting events and interesting information. I feel like I’ve been getting this particular edition ready for days, so I’m sorry if it gets out a bit later than usual. Also, please email me if you have trouble getting a hard copy, although the newsletter is always available online, thanks to Mr James Jillians. You can find current and past editions on the Newsletters page.
I hope you have all enjoyed your (super hot) summer, or at least tried to. At least we’ve been getting a bit of rain over the last few
days. I have been trying to conserve water by putting bowls in all my sinks at home to catch as much waste water as possible. This grey
water has kept my garden alive, and there’s been no sign of the plants blowing bubbles, so a bit of soap doesn’t seem to hurt.
I’m ‘future-proofing’ by investing in one or two more water butts as mine ran out weeks ago! We’re sure to get tons of rain over the winter months.
Lucy, Newsletter Editor
