NEXT COPY DEADLINE NOON ON MONDAY 17TH MAY NEXT DELIVERY 22nd MAY TO 30th MAY

Dear Readers Easter approaches and makes me think of new beginnings. As I write this it would appear we have light at the end of our tunnel. As we forge our way back to some normality, I wish we had arrived unscathed but I know this will not be for some of you. My thoughts are with you.

Here at Outwoods View Directory the phones have been busy. People are more positive and after several issues without the What’s On page, It’s back! Tentative steps! Please don’t forget to let us know about your events for the June & July issue.

Please take time to look at the two charities in the magazine this month, The Living Without Abuse and Exaireo. Charities have been hit very hard this year and need our support more than ever.

Also check out our recipe this month , Easter Blondies. Easy to make and yummy.

The winner of the crossword competion is Colin Moss. Congratulations - your £20 is on its way. Why not have a go yourself this month, easy to enter. Details on page 28.

Well folks - have a very Happy Easter and please stay safe and well. I sincerely hope by the next issue we will be able to enjoy each others company again.

Remember to shop locally and keep our local economy going. Our local businesses need your support.

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 two months.
