I’ve now had replies from SSEN. There will be two power outages on :
– Thursday 6th November (Ref 244951)
– Thursday 13th November (Ref 245388)

The outage on the 06/11 is to install a new connection to the network. The power will be isolated between 09:00-16:00.

The outage on the 13/11 is to replace existing equipment. A generator will be provided for certain NRN numbers for this planned work. Those who will lose power will be off supply between 08:30-16:00.


The SSEN website doesn’t have details of future outages, just those in progress.

On the day of the outage you’ll be able to see progress <here>. Of course you’ll need some sort of battery powered device with mobile internet connectivity.

It’s that time of year again….

What do donkeys send out near Christmas?

And here’s the recycling calendar !

I’ve had two letters recently from SSEN that are letting me know there will be power outages on :
– Thursday 6th November
– Thursday 13th November

I don’t have details of the timing for the 6th but on the 13th the timing is 08:30 – 16:00.

The SSEN website doesn’t seem to have details of future outages, just those in progress, so I’ve emailed them to check on details. I’ll pass on anything I get.

Some new information.

From : Claudine Pynn

Claudine Pynn will be carrying out ‘house to house’ collections in the village between 25 October and 8 November.

If I miss you please feel free to call at 22 Follyfield.

I will have traditional poppies, 2025 metal pins and some wooden crosses available.

Please could I ask that you are prepared for my visit by having some cash available. I don’t have a card reader but this year I do have a QR code with which you will be able to make a donation with your smart phone.

Interesting post from Wiltshire County about recycling in general and Zombie batteries in particular.
