With the imposition of the ‘lockdown’, communication between us all has become more important.
As you know, a WhatsApp group, called Tresham Support Network has been set up and this has been very useful for the 38 members who represent 28 out of 47 households.
However, the E-note system reaches 39 households with all but one of the remaining eight being vacant or not on email. So this does represent the best way to get a message to nearly all households in Tresham, although it is not as immediate and not so interactive as the WhatsApp group.
If you want to post a new topic on the website then simply write to me, the editor; you can use the email link at the top of any page or click the Contact tab from the menu. I will copy your text into a Post from an email or Word document, along with any images and pdf files. We use a system called Mailchimp, which holds contact details of ‘subscribers’, to send out the E-notes. If someone wants to write a Comment, use the box under the Post; the first time your email address is used to write a Comment I receive notification and ‘approve’ it for publication – not the content I hasten to add but the validity of the sender. It is just a check to keep out spam. However, you may experience a delay in seeing your Comment appear on the website because I have to react to the notification email. Subsequent Comments from an ‘approved’ email address are posted directly to the website without further intervention by me.
Please use the Comment box under this Post to make any comments or suggestions.

Thank you, Richard. This is a very useful communication system which we much appreciate.
So, to reach those who are not on the whatsapp group, if your garden would like some pretty or useful going-wild plants in it, there are some at our gateway which I will leave out until monday now before consigning to the compost heap. There are forget-me-nots, foxgloves, aquilegia (granny bonnets), mint roots and wild strawberries which make very good ground cover with pretty flowers and tasty tiny fruits, but they ‘run’., as does the mint (but makes delicious mint tea). All except the mint seed themselves freely and have recently come out of my vegetable beds – they love Tresham! Please leave the black pots they are in (and thank you to those who did so yesterday).

I have been having a good spring clean and have come across a random selection of arty paints, paint brushes, pastels and paper. I will put them in the phone box if anybody would like them to keep kids/themselves amused
Thanks Mikki. We have taken some – Tasha very pleased! There is still some left.
