Message From Julie Nicholson
I’m almost embarrassed to say I have been in Madeira enjoying warmth and sunshine over the past week while the village has dealt with the impact of flooding, but I have been so impressed to read on the WhatsApp group the wonderful community spirit that has abounded in the village. I know ‘faith’ isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but on Sunday at the service in church, I will light a Shipton Moyne community candle for all the wonderful support, care, friendship, and hospitality that the village can be so proud of, not only over this week, but especially this week.
