I get too many “alerts” to pass on but I know a lot of people use the Booking.com site so I thought I’d pass this one on to everyone.
Their summary is as follows :

Those using the platform Booking.com to book their holidays or accommodation are being warned they could be targeted with emails or messages requesting payments from hotels who have had their account taken over by fraudsters. Between June 2023 and September 2024, Action Fraud received 532 reports from individuals, with a total of £370,000 lost.

The annual Carol Service is in the church on Sunday.

There will be a small choir and, as a special extra this year, we have a professional saxophonist called Christopher, who will make a welcoming sound as you arrive and play a solo during the service.

At the end of the service, there will be our usual mulled wine and mince pies. We look forward to seeing lots of villagers of all ages.

The church will be warm🔥.
