Dear Readers Well it has been an eventful couple of months since last we spoke! Getting closer to coming out of lockdown and businesses are steadily getting back to the new normal. This month we have watched Wimbledon (was there any doubt Djokovic would win?) and Euro 2020 which seemed to restore our spirits, until those penalties! Whatever has happened to you, I hope you are smiling a little more and are anticipating good things happening soon. In this issue we are supporting Age UK with their Charnwood Shed for the over 50's. Take a look - you may find it’s just what you have been waiting for. We are also supporting Macmillan Cancer Support with an Evening of Live Music at Sileby Cricket Club. Should be a great evening so please support it if you can. Our recipe this month is a Pear Frangipane Cake. Scrummy. You can find it on page 29. The winner of the crossword competion is Joyce Smith. Congratulations - your £20 is on its way. Why not have a go yourself this month, easy to enter. Details on page 28. Please remember to mention the Outwoods View Directory when using the services provided by our advertisers, ensuring that you continue to receive your FREE magazine every other month. Take care until next time!
