Donations can be made to Barnado’s, one of the organisations for which she worked; a fund is being arranged by Co-operative Funeralcare, High Street, Thame.
All love and condolences to her husband, Alan, and children, Ruth, Toby and David. Our thoughts are with you all.

Recycling
Bins, baskets for paper, cans and plastics and boxes for glass will be collected on Tuesday February 7.

Monthly Lunch
About 14 “older” Chearsley residents met up again to enjoy another good meal at The Bell on Wednesday January 25. This is an occasion and opportunity to support the village pub and to meet up with other residents for company and chat. It is very informal and everyone of a certain age, on your own or couples will all be made very welcome. The February lunch will be held on Wednesday February 22 at 12.30. Please ring Ann Hooton on 201799 for more details and to choose your menu.

Baby Congratulations
Another Chearsley family is celebrating the birth of 2 babies within a week of each other. Della and Alan Mitchener became Grandparents to Adaline Iris on January 9. She is the second daughter for their son Dan and his wife, Victoria and a sister to Clemmie. Their older son, David and his wife Justine had their first child, Hebe Ann Laurie on January 16. Congratulations to all the Mitcheners. A busy time for Della and Alan who now have 7 grandchildren.
