The theme of the Associate Priest’s letter is “Sauntering”, and there are opportunities offered to pause and slow down, with “A Place to Pause” set up in the Church for you to call in and enjoy as well as the 10am services every Sunday.

Please look out for aeroplane in Village Green tree

 Dear Natlanders,

While my grandchildren were visiting at half term, they took advantage of our village green to play cricket and other things. My grandson was playing with a small toy aeroplane (very light-weight as made of foam and only a few inches in size). Unfortunately it sailed into the oak tree and did not return. Although it is green and grey in colour, it could not be seen among the leaves. Perhaps it will appear in the winter or maybe it will be blown or washed down some day. . . .

If anyone finds the little plane on or near the green, please let me know or return it to 3 Abbey Drive. My grand-daughter, who gave it to her brother as a present, would be particularly grateful for its return. 

Thank you,

 Judith Robinson

The Drain Sucker has come
