Its Lockdown time again but we are still open for our Click and Collect service. Phone in your orders on Tuesdays between 10-12 and we will let you know when to collect your books.


 

Lockdown Memory Book

We are keen to maintain our links with the community by following up a suggestion from one of our volunteers. As a village, we are living through a period of history which will be talked about for decades to come. The library would like to invite residents of Wenvoe of all ages to contribute to a collection of their lockdown events and memories in the form of pictures, drawings and text. We will compile these in a format that will be housed in the Community Library and stored for posterity. We hope you will participate. Please send your contributions to the above email address.


 

Focus on our volunteers

Our band of volunteers continue to operate the Click and Collect service and are still busy behind the scenes with the Library. We though you might be interested in what else they do to occupy themselves during Lockdown. Each month, one of our volunteers will share their time with us.


 

Hi Everyone, Jack Russell dog here and this is one of my walks.

Walk along Walston Road and into the quarry. If we want to test our lungs, we turn immediate left up the quarry hill. Good fitness test. We try to see how fast we can do it. I always win; owner last!! Follow path, until we come alongside Whitehall Farm, on left, (where I like to leave a little wee) turn right then immediate left, fields each side, follow path to kissing gate. Bryn Lodge should be on the left. Walk through to the wooden gate and then onto Burdon Lane. My owner loves this lane, it reminds her of a Constable painting. It changes with the light, but is always pretty and tranquil, whatever time of year. Go along Burdon Lane and look out for a wooden style on the left with a gate alongside, taking us into Wenvoe Woods. The wood is peaceful, birds singing, bare winter trees covered with frost, then the spring wild garlic, bluebells, violets, a continuing changing picture. Follow the path through woods leading down, which will bring you to Pound Field Farm on the right. Go through gate and along path to come out on Pound Lane. Following lane to the bottom and you are back in Wenvoe Village. A short walk approximately 30 minutes, but good exercise. Give it a try!!
