“My โCUT OFFโ date is now imminent!” Rowde artist and editor of the village magazine, Alan Watters tells me. There’s no telling where he will stash a sandwich for later feasting if this really is to happen. But what we can confirm, the lack of lockdown trimming has given him the Santa look, which may have been all the fashion four months ago!

“I had vowed that I would cut my lockdown beard for charity when we were rid of the virus but if I wait until then I will most probably be tripping over it! I have decided therefore to cut it after I get my second vaccination which I have just been given as next Thursday.”
“Two causes dear to my heart are Children with Cancer UK and Headway, the brain injury charity. For more info and to help me reach my targets of ยฃ500 for each please please follow one or both of the links below. Stay safe.”
