Before I write more I feel I must apologise to Newtown Gardening Club, who do a wonderful job with the gardens outside Iceland and other places around town.

They were not mentioned in my article referring to who tended flower beds etc around town.

So I hope you will forgive us.

Now for another excellent enterprise here in Newtown – the Knit and Natter Ladies, who display their creations on the postbox at the lower end of the High Street, to celebrate various events and the like.

OTHER NEWS:

As the seat/bench opposite the said postbox is a resting place for us, either on our morning litter picking walk or just for a rest during a walk, we can also see the clock and are able to know the time.

While resting there we are amazed to see the great interest these creations attract.

County Times:

Folks stop to admire the clock and are able to know the time.

Not being both of the same gender – Chips being female – I cannot say what the ladies natter about.

However, their knitting and crocheting are very excellent and something to be proud about.

Finally, if any of you have oddments of wool I am sure the group would be very pleased to have them.

So sort out those unused socks, scarves and jumpers and help a worthy group of knitting and nattering ladies to create their masterpieces.
