HAND DELIVERED TO LOWTON AND GOLBORNE HOMES
Welcome to the June issue of Local Living As we move out of May, so too do we finally move out of lockdown! Our Life After Lockdown section is making a return this month, with even more local businesses looking forward to seeing you all back. While precautions will still be in place in many establishments, this next stage of reopenings marks the start of life hopefully returning to normal. While our Life After Lockdown segment has some amazing local businesses, our What’s On Guide has activities and events for the whole family. Here’s hoping this is just the start of a jam-packed summer!
As always, we hope everyone is staying safe and healthy, and following the guidelines still in place. It’s been a long road, but we’re finally seeing the end of the tunnel, so let’s all stay strong and keep protecting ourselves, our families, and each other.
Love, The Joneses x

We all first met Lynda at the toddler group when she used to bring her granddaughter, several years ago. She has contributed endless voluntary hours helping to run the two weekly sessions and also been a huge support behind the scenes with the administration of the group, which she is still currently fulfilling. Her husband Derek has also been involved with helping the group in various tasks. Lynda has helped to raise money for several charities over the years for example:- completing Race for Life numerous times for Cancer Research, selling cakes or raffle tickets at events for Alzheimers society, Retts UK, MIND, The Walton centre to name a few. She’s even dressed up each year as an elf for the children’s Christmas parties and accompanied them on the roller coaster rides at Gullivers world on our summer annual trip. Lynda has been strong, inspirational, uplifting, reliable and an understanding friend to us all at the group and will be sincerely missed. Wishing you a happy Retirement. Love from us all at Cheeky Monkeys and Lowton and Golborne Afternoon Tea xx Rachel, Jack, Ted and Jay xx “We will miss Lynda so much with her ‘toddlers toast’ she has been such an amazing part of playgroup, always making the children and parents smile!” Xxx Rachel (childminder), Ellis and Megan xx “We love Lynda at playgroup.... been for many years with various children and we all love toast time! Even though we try to pinch toast without paying and climb through Lynda’s trolley when she’s not looking, she maintains a smooth operation” Julieanne and Isaac xx “Lynda, such a kind heart, and a warm smile for everyone. Countless teas and toasts made for parents and children at playgroup. Very grateful to have you during my playgroup sanctuary. Good luck in your retirement!!” Mandy, Lydia and Alfie xx “Lynda is the best toast maker, hug giver, advice giver and loveliest person”
