We end the month with a photograph. It’s amazing what you can come across when walking the dog. John Hayhurst came across this beautiful scene of bluebells in Fryton Woods while he was walking his dog.

Many thanks John for sending the photo in to the website.

A lectern made in English oak has been donated to Slingsby Methodist Church in memory of Esther Dennis who was a member of that church and a Local Preacher for over 60 years.

The lectern was made by John Apps of Slingsby (JRA Woodworking) and will be greatly appreciated by those taking part in services there and matches perfectly the other oak furniture.
