Hello! East Chinnock always rises to the occasion and our VE 75 decorations in the village were a lovely sight to behold.  Bunting and Union Jack flags were draped everywhere -  around windows, doors and gardens - and people came out on their front gardens and driveways to celebrate together, but apart! The fact that friends had to celebrate while employing social distancing rules lent a certain poignancy to the occasion,  as, on this important day, as before, we were all focused on managing a national (albeit very different) danger. 

With fewer events to fill the issue, a plea went out on the Round Robin, and lots of you replied. Thank you for sending your photos, jokes and stories for this issue. 

Another great positive is knowing that there have been no cases of Covid-19 in the village (at the time of writing) which is so heartening, and I commend you all for your careful adherence to the rules of social distancing.   

I hope you enjoy this special edition and have a lovely summer! 

Wishing you all the best - stay safe, Julie
