Our thanks to David G for these beautiful shots.
We had a call from someone claiming to be from BT, they had a lot of information i.e. our BT account number, they sent a text to Judith’s phone with a pin number. They knew when our last bill was and for how much. They said there was unusual activity around our Broadband and asked us to log in so they could show us. We did and then they asked us to look into other accounts to see if we’d been hacked i.e. our Amazon account. Low and behold a fraudulent activity was there! Well we thought it was there, when in fact, they “supposed BT” had changed / altered the screen we were looking at. To make a very long story short we cut the call and then did the usual, called the bank, changed Amazon password, logged the scam with BT and changed our BT password.
BT said they NEVER call their customers unless they have been requested to i.e. you, the customer rings them and they are responding to your request. If you get a call from BT out of the blue – hang up, it’s a scam.
Charles and Judith

Amazon delivered this yesterday in the village to the wrong house. Did anyone receive the delivery please? If anyone recognises the doorway, could you please check. It is for a guest staying in The Stables.
Thank you,

Our cottage on Lenscliffe has an oil-fired Rayburn that needs to be serviced. Our usual company, Norton’s, seems to have gone out of business. Does anyone know of a good engineer who could do this for us?

Re: mobile breast screening unit outside St Oswalds Hospital in Ashbourne
I am not sure if you have noticed that this unit is back and sited outside St Oswalds – it will be there for the next couple of months. I am sure you are aware – anyone between 50 and 70 should be invited for a mammogram every 3 years .. now the unit is here it may be worth checking if you are due and also if you have been invited for a scan.
WOMEN OVER 70 – It has recently been drawn to my attention by a friend of Val K that although they stop calling you for screen when you reach 70 ….you can still get a screen every 3 years by making a phone call . See https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/breast-screening-for-women-aged-71-or-over/71-or-over-you-can-still-have-breast-screening-if-you-choose . Our local area phone number is 01332 785 691. May be appropriate for you or for a relative or a neighbour. I rang last week and had a scan this week – no problems and the staff in the mobile unit were delightful. Results will be through in 2 weeks.
If you wish to go for a screen but have difficulties arranging it or getting there do please let us know and we will try to help.
Stay well. Jean and Martin C 529

We’ve had several emails into the blog giving thanks and sharing pictures of the flowers at St Peter’s Church, and so we thank Richard T and David G for the below pictures and Richard T for the message:
‘Dressed for the licensing of the new Vicar today by the Bishop of Repton. Looks beautiful and thank you to all those who devoted so much effort.’

On Saturday St Peter’s church was decorated with flowers for the licensing ceremony of our new vicar which took place on Sunday.
The church looked and smelled absolutely stunning! I personally want to thank everyone who helped.
Lots of people came on the day to arrange flowers, clean, sweep up, tidy, polish, weed the path, make us cups of tea and coffee, and helped to make the church look so beautiful.
Thank you also to everyone for such generous donations of flowers and foliages.
I think you will all agree, it was a job well done 😊
The flowers will be in church until next weekend, so please call in if you’re passing by.
