But it re-opens at 4pm so we can all get to the Baschurch Fish Bar and Wong Lee Chinese take away for our evening meal.

Can you help? ROAD CLOSED - Where??

Dear Blogger

ROAD CLOSED??

This sign has appeared at the mini roundabout by the entrance to The Quillets

Does anyone know if there are any roadworks in the village or out to the A5 which would explain the sign?

Roger - thank you all for your good wishes

Dear Blogger

Dear friends on the Mailing List,

Please excuse me if I write to you in one email to thank you for all your good wishes for Roger`s speedy recovery.

If you are wondering why I sent out a message about an ambulance at the door, one neighbour said it all,
"I didn`t want to be nosey ..."     That is the way we react these days when years ago everyone on the Brownhill would have been at our door asking what had happened and probably being a flipping nuisance!

We don`t want to be nosey when we see an an ambulance outside a neighbours door but we do want to offer our good wishes - and you did, loads of you.

 Lets hope something can be sorted before too long. 

Roger is being very quiet, finding things to do on his computer and directing me to do jobs around the garden 

Thank you all so much for caring

Yoland
   

A new Oswestry murder mystery by Dave Andrews

Dear Blogger

Message forwarded by Ingrid Oswestry net

If you love murder mysteries head to Booka to buy your copy of

DAVE ANDREWS` 15th `Who Done it` CHASE TO THE CUT

Dave Andrews has just published his fifteenth book. Chase to the Cut is the final novel in his Inspector Probert trilogy of murder mysteries set in the Oswestry area. Like the previous two, Each Slow Dusk and Bolt from the Black, Chase to the Cut is a stand-alone novel telling its own complete, self-contained story.

In Chase to the Cut, one man is attacked in his hotel room on the outskirts of Oswestry and another is murdered in Ellesmere during its annual Winter Festival’s Lantern Parade. It’s up to Detective Chief Inspector Gary Llewelyn Probert and his team to discover whether there’s a connection between the two incidents and catch whoever is responsible.

The complex investigation throws up a mysterious link with the Beatles, especially John Lennon. DCI Probert, as if he didn’t have enough on his plate, also needs to deal with the fact that one of his colleagues is developing an unwelcome romantic interest in him.

Dave is Reader/Writer in Residence at Oswestry Library where he gives talks on various aspects of English and Welsh literature and offers advice to writers. He’s the author of fourteen previous books, many with a local theme, including The Oswestry Round, Gobowen to Everest and Wilfred Owen: Poet of Oswestry.

Chase to the Cut and Dave’s other books are available in Booka, Siop Cwlwm, Oswestry Library, Oswestry Tourist Office or direct from Dave at daveauthor54@gmail.com Chase to the Cut costs £9.99.
