This just in from Bob Walden...

My wife, Jean and I, along with Rocky and Vickie Parsons of Springfield, Missouri, USA, visited Vickie's uncle, Bill Tyley in the summer of 2006.  We met many special people there and loved Westbury.  Bill's hospitality and the townspeople's friendliness made it our best vacation, ever.  Our love to Bill and friendship to everybody we met

Bob sent some photographs which are are in the gallery.

June 7th was a lovely summer afternoon and 79 Friends and visitors came to the Strawberry Tea in the village hall. Seeing the sign outside the hall inviting passers by to join us all, 8 holiday makers did just that and came in to have afternoon tea at this annual village event.

The Chairman and committee would like to thank everyone who came to support us and to help raise the sum of £320. Thanks also to those who kindly made jam and scones, and to others who donated raffle prizes and helped behind the scenes. This was once again a very happy and enjoyable afternoon helping to raise money for St Lawrence Church fabric fund.

At a recent Auction of Promises to raise money for the Robert Glanville Playing Field Trust, Sarah bought a morning's feltmaking with Liz Clay. The auction raised a total of £3,750.

Pictured above are Liz, Sarah and friends with their morning's creations.
