OutwoodsViewDirectory Hello again!

This month marks the 16th year the Outwoods View Directory has been in existence. Looking at the first edition, it is so good to see so many of those advertisers who were in that issue are still going strong today.

I hope you enjoy this issue. We have a new Wordsearch feature on page 28 which will normally just be for fun but this month it is being sponsored by Binend Wines who have kindly donated a bottle of wine for the winner. Their website offers some fantastic wines and well is worth a little look! They are offering our readers a special deal too.

Check out page 29 for more details.

At last we seem to be getting back to normal with events. I know you have missed the What’s On page but its back on page 30.

Our recipe is for Easter Muffins and can be found on page 25. This is a great one for making with children.

I couldn’t let this issue go out without mentioning the ongoing issues in Ukraine. I don’t want to become political but what is happening to these proud, fiercely independent people is shameful. We hoped that in 2022, we were beyond such fighting. We sincerely hope a peaceful resolution can be found quickly. May god keep you all safe.

Have a great Easter!
