mobile phone or a camera are needed for next year's Village
Calendar. The theme is the four elements, as found around the
village. So let your creative powers flow; some ideas to get you
started, perhaps, gardens and fields, bubbles, bonfires, sunsets
and sunrises, rivers and pools. If you would like to photo a
suitable quotation or artwork that would add to the mix; all
ideas on the theme most welcome. When you email a photo to us your
computer will ask what size you'd like to choose, please click
on 'actual size'. Send as many photos as you would like
