Ukrainians with Cathy and Dai
From Cathy and Dai
We have a family of four Ukrainians (parents:inne & Alexander)(14yr old boy:yelysei & 16 year old girl:Stella) that arrived last night. We are trying to introduce them to the UK and Hankerton – busy this week sorting out the necessary!
They will be coming to the Hankerton tea party next Sunday. If anyone in the village would like to help in any way – meeting local families/walks/do bus journeys with them/talking and teaching English
In particular any boys aged 14 and girls aged 16 who would like to make friends with them (and we have bikes too!)
Website Checker
This came through the Neighbourhood watch email alerts and I thought others may find it useful. I get loads of dodgy requests through my work email so I tried it out and was impressed !
If the link in the email is hidden behind some text such as “Click Here” you can <right click> on the link and then Copy the link before pasting into the check box on the site.

Wild Flowers
From Simon Kearsley (website manager) – this one really is me !
I don’t know who’s idea it was to put a wild flower border at the junction of Vicarage Lane and Cloatley Road and the sign just says “Parish Council” but what a great idea ! Thank You ! to whoever it was !
I’d be very happy to help spreading the idea even further next year if we can do that ? !
