Scribes-David Crichton and Clifford Miller have been writing and distributing Cadmore End News on alternate months for some years. In anticipation of his move “up the road” David is standing down as a scribe. Douglas Brown (Picket House) has kindly offered to take on the role.

Sheep- In the fields towards Hangar Wood the ewes have recently been separated from their lambs resulting in “bleating” for a few days which will have been noticed by those living nearby. We are lucky to have farming so close.
