Welcome
This website provides an archive of all 200 Editions of the Berrynarbor Newsletter, as circulated from August 1989 to October 2022. It provides a rich tapestry of over 30 years of social history and local knowledge. We hope you enjoy exploring the content.
August 1994 - Edition No.31
By the time this issue reaches you, schools will have broken up and many villagers will either be busy catering for the needs of holiday-makers, or partaking or looking forward to their own holidays. Let's hope that we shall be able to enjoy a few weeks of real summer weather!
I must first thank Helen Armstead for the most attractive cover. We are lucky to have so many artists willing to share their talents through the Newsletter. However, if there are any 'undiscovered' artists whom we could 'tap', please do contact me. Thank you, too, contributors for getting articles in early - now it's up to me to meet the printing deadline!
Secondly, I must apologise to Ann - a verse of her poem eluded me - and to Phil, who got left out!
Verse 5:
-
Still in slippers and dressing gown,
A voice calls out, "Anyone home?"
"Come in, Phil, like a coffee? "
"Can't stay long, just off shopping.
"Pat calls out, "It's only me.
"Mum, make that four now not three!
Coffee with my family in the Valley.
Recipes, Book Reviews, your favourite Charles Causley or other poem, etc . - items for the next Newsletter by Thursday, 15th September, please. Thank you.
Ed.
