Self Isolated Villagers

Message from Paula & Sean Pinkney:

We have just returned from Vietnam where we were quarantined from 7th March to 15th March because we were on the same boat as two couples who happened to be on the same plane from LHR to Hanoi as a Vietnamese woman who was infected with Covid-19. The plane landed on the 2nd March while we were holidaying in Cambodia. We were quarantined in a hotel room and tested for the virus on the 7th March – it was negative. We were also tested on the 13th March – again negative. We also had our temperatures taken twice a day – all ok. They released us with papers giving us the “all clear” on 15th March and took us to the airport where we returned home. 

We are being extra cautious and going against what NHS 111 said, by self isolating till end of this week; NHS 111 said we could go about business as usual.

We will of course have to walk the dog so, if you see us out, don’t be alarmed but please keep at least 2 metres away from us. Apologies this morning for scaring anybody but Paula went out with her mask on (which she did not need to) because she’s anxious about the situation.

Film Night Cancellation

Unsurprisingly in view of the latest advice, Film Night on 24th March in the Village Hall has now been cancelled.

It’s intended that Baz Luhrmann’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ will be shown at a later date.

Shopping Deliveries to Kingscote

In the light of Covid-19/Coronavirus, and the likelihood that some people may not want to go shopping for food, is there is any interest in the possibility of:

  1. Delivery of multiple supermarket orders to Kingscote and/or
  2. Collection of shopping orders from supermarkets by villagers for others in the village.

Please let me know, and I will work with Annabella Lucy (and anyone else willing to help) to see if it is possible to set up a suitable system.

Have you lost an earring?

A rhinestone earring was found near the church 2-3 weeks ago.

The earring:

3 rows of rhinestones hanging from a large and a medium rhinestone. The two outer rhinestones are 5 rhinestones dangling with a big rhinestone in between, and the middle row has 6 rhinestones dangling with a bigger rhinestone at the bottom.

If you have lost this, please get in touch with Marlyn on 07870 589803 or email her here.

Come to the new ‘All Ages’ services

Instead of the monthly Family Service, keep an eye out for the ‘All Age Services’ on Sunday mornings at various times throughout the year that are being organised by Rev. Caroline.

It is intended that there will be something for everyone and, with advance notice, people will be able to choose the service that best suits them.

Rev. Caroline very much looks forward to welcoming you.
