NEW A GINGER AND WHITE CAT wearing a magnetic collar (we believe for a catflap) has been found dead at the sewage works in Helmdon on Wednesday 5th January. As upsetting as it is, if anybody’s cat has gone missing, it’s better to know what’s happened to it, than to keep going out looking for it. I’m going to try and get it picked up to take to Brackley Croft Veterinary Centre to be microchipped to see if I can trace the owner that way. If the owner wants to contact me, they can ring me on [phone number removed]. Lesley Revill

From January 10th I will be starting a structured Watercolour Course between 10 am and 12 noon at the Reading Rooms. I have 9 people already signed up and places are going very quickly. After the course finishes I shall be continuing a 2 hour session but on a much more informal basis.

The lessons will cover Washes, Trees, Skies, Buildings, Figures and Animals that we would see in the landscapes. I would also cover simple drawing techniques, Perspective, Composition and Tone. My paintings are of a loose impressionistic nature. Tel: [phone number removed] or Mob: [phone number removed] or email [email address removed]. I look forward to hearing from you.
