The paper copy is due to arrive 29 July and we are reverting to the old style delivery by our wonderful people.

The usual delivery of printed copies will not take place this month.

We have ordered some and will place them at strategic places around the village for you to collect for yourself and for any neighbours who specifically ask you to.

Locations will be notified as soon as they have been decided on. Some residents have said that they really don't want one - because of the risk. Please handle them as little as possible and leave the pile as you would want to find it; please put lids back on to protect from rain.

Thank you all.

Here is the last Forncett Flyer of 2019; the next one will be published around early February – so make the most of it.

I make no excuses for not being very xmassy, I leave that to the commercial magazines; there is always so much information, news and gossip in Forncett that I don’t have space for Christmas recipes. I couldn’t even get the south Norfolk Group walks schedule in, but the Southern Norfolk group walks can be found on the Ramblers website.

I hope I shall be welcoming you to Last Homely House on New Year's Day for a mince pie and mulled wine; (details on page 2). If you are new to the village and have never done the walk, you might like to try it. No one checks how far you have walked so you can cheat and take short cuts; popping into the Village Hall and having soup and a roll, tea, coffee etc. (I have heard it’s really nice, but I am always at home serving out pies and wine). There are downstairs toilet facilities here, and somewhere to sit. Dogs welcome.

Whatever you get up to this Christmas, do have a lovely time; eat far too much and sleep in till noon if you wish. Do send me any silly pictures if they are fit to print.

See you in February. Take care.
