The lovely Isles of Scilly – which we booked to visit last January, looked like it was never going to happen after the March restrictions kicked in – our date to travel was July 12th and as luck would have it the lifting of the restrictions at the beginning of July opened up the opportunity. A long journey from here to Penzance – but 5 very peaceful and relaxing days – everyone being careful.
We are told that The Scilly Isles 3 pubs were open over Christmas and New Year – lucky small community who are being very careful.
Maybe some will be able to make the journey later this year – let us hope so….

Please let us all have a safe New Year – Stay at Home –
Sorry to hear that Frank Hallam has passed away
(before Christmas), 90+ and amongst varying jobs,
Frank was a well known Chimney Sweep in and around Whittlesey during the 60’s and 70’s.
I remember talking with him some 10 years ago (when this picture was taken) of his days in the Royal Navy, I believe he served during WWII on the Aircraft Carrier ‘Ark Royal’
Known for his knowledge on horses and dogs….
(racing that would be).
When he worked at the Brickyards – his job was A Smudger…(unsure of the spelling)
Ball Bridge looking towards ‘The Marina’ taken yesterday 29th December.
I hope you all survived Christmas , lets hope 2021 will be a better year.
Fenland Youth Radio are delighted to announce the Pride of Whittlesey Awards for 2020. A chance to showcase and applaud those who went the extra mile for Whittlesey and the villages. All don’t go out looking for awards but we want to recognise them and show our appreciation no matter their age. These awards are supported by Whittlesey Town Council and we need your help to get the message out and perhaps let us know about those in your organisations who we can highlight. Please note, to allow plenty of time for nominations we have decided to extend the deadline to the 31st January not the date we posted in the Discovering Magazine which should be coming through your letterbox soon.
The poster is attached please circulate.
