I was up with [my daughter] at the time and unable to act on what I saw – and have been feeling guilty ever since.

A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon was had by all at the "Sizzling Sausage Family Olympics". Delicious sausages were supplied my Mumfords and there was a cake stall, a very good raffle and information about the Community-led Development Plan. There were a number of individual races for all age groups, a wellie-throwing competition, won by Mark Page, and team sports which included Dress/Undress, Egg and Spoon race and a three-legged race.

The afternoon was designed to promote the Community-led Development Plan, an initiative sponsored by Cherwell District Council and designed to give all members of the community a say about their village and the wider community. Please
A fire in Upper Wardington caused by dry pine needles and leylandii cuttings is being put out behind Brakespear's barn as your correspondent is writing. Two fire appliances are on the scene and the fire is now under control. The whole of Upper Wardington came out to see what was happening and once it was established that no people or property were in danger, there was great excitement amongst the children especially. The fire hydrant in the road by the old pool was used to supply water to the fire appliances and the children were on hand to ensure that there was enough torchlight for the firefighters to see the connection!
