Birds
North Bovey seems to be even better off for wild birds than ever, Now these are not the greatest photos, or the rarest species, but I thought I’d start the ball rolling by posting a couple for you to identify and maybe prompt you to post the ones you see. Post them yourselves, authors, or send them to me at day.ellison@mac.com. Over time we might build a record of what’s out there on the wing . . .

Here is Joyce in 2004 with our very own Fortune Teller – Madam Elinorac. And now over to Joyce, who has written this letter to us all: There are easier ways to get to the North Bovey Fair than the one taken by Kenneth and Joyce Crabtree on July 21st 1984. but we started…

Thank You, and Good Luck for the 2014 Fair Tomorrow!

The overwhelming messages of support that I received from so many in the village were most encouraging and touched me deeply – thank you everybody! The good news is that I am now out of hospital, but must rest for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately I am not well enough yet to be able to help with the fair tomorrow, to organise the photo competition or to run around with my camera photographing everyone taking part for the village blog, including the sheep shearing, but I…
