Nicholas and Isabel are made for each other, but fate does not always choose the easiest path to true love. As destiny pulls them together, so family, passion, and faith drive them apart. â€‹â€‹

​​

​------------------------------------

 

As Christmas approaches it is of course more important than ever to think of those less fortunate.  The Moorland Food Bank continues to run a box for donations in the village shop.

​

They are after donations of "undamaged, in-date, non-perishable food items with a long shelf-life, for us to distribute.

​

Particularly welcomed are tins of fruit, vegetables, soup, beans, meat and fish, packets of cereal, tea, sugar, biscuits, snacks, rice and pasta, jars of sauce, coffee, hot chocolate, spreads, and cartons of UHT milk, juice, custard, etc."

​

Some generous villagers buy goods from the shop to put directly in the box, but donations from any source are very welcome

 

​------------------------------------

 

The route has been published for the annual Ansty Young Farmers Tractor Run in aid of Devon Air Ambulance and Exmoor Search & Rescue, on Sunday December 14th.

​

The tractors are expected to pass through Winsford at 4:15 and Withypool at 4:45.

​

If you are the owner of a tractor and would like to join in, the entry form can be found here
