Molton Monthly - March 2024 Welcome to the March edition of Molton Monthly. The cover and masthead is printed in the colours of Ukraine, to mark the second anniversary of the invasion by Russia which has caused more than 8 million people to flee their homes to seek safety. Some like Olena Subocheva settled here in North Devon, and she has now been living with her generous hosts in South Molton for almost two years. As the deadly war continues, you What’s Inside - March can read what life is like for Olena and her P6-7 Photo of the month family in a special interview this month.
