Foot and mouth

13 April 2001

i am sure i speak for a lot of people (dog walkers mainly) when i say that we are all getting fed up with foot ‘n’ mouth. The closest cases are Chesterton (sorwee iff vats speelt rong)Wooton, both of wich are a significant distance from Helmdon, also Dad tells me that the field may remain closed for up to 6 months but on the news they said the government may be re-opening some foot paths! lets be greatfull that foot and mouth has not affected us as badly as it has to some very unfortunate farmers.
